Okay.... I'm taking a quick poll to see if Bob is the only poster here with
such a limited sailing area. Please just give us an idea of where you've sailed, lakes, oceans, bays, countries...... I'll start: Great Slave Lake, NWT Hudson's Bay - Rankin Yacht Club Beaufort Sea - Tuktoyaktuk Bahamas, Eluthra, & Exuma Cays British Virgin Islands - all of it Jamaica - Montego Bay to Negril Brasil - Florinopolis to Bombinas and Porto Alegra /Recife American Samoa - Pago Pago Yacht Club Western Samoa - Upolu to Savai'i Tonga - Am Samoa to Tonga return [ Pago-Vava'u] British Columbia Nova Scotia New Brunswick Prince Edward Island Ontario Quebec I know it's not a lot and many have sailed more areas.... but compared to Bob.... !!!????? I mean let's face it... Bob hasn't even done a basic BVI trip on a charter boat!!! Bob can't use a Radar Bob can't navigate Bob can't sail into a slip Bob does try though.... lame as those attempts are in his very limited world of sail. CM |

Well, you have me beat but comparing yourself to Bob isn't raising the bar
that high. I mentioned it before but one of the guys on the Atlantic crossing keep his boat on the Hudson north of NYC and from what he told me he's covered more of LIS in his boat than Bob has.

That's what I like about the place - loads of variety in a small area. The last two weekends have been flat calm, hot sun, bit of sea breeze one day; strong winds, lumpy chop and pishin' rain the other. Last Saturday, we had a 'new boy' dinghy sailor as stand-in crew - we were short-handed - he was decidedly unwell (and lacking a clue, considering he's done more RYA dinghy training than me). He didn't come back for the suntan, slow drift and cancelled races the following Sunday... Bob can't use a Radar Ain't got one o' them. You will Not this week! :-) But I'm up for that sort of gubbins when I have the sort of boat that warrants it. Bob can't navigate Learned a bit, but have some way to go yet. At least you are making an attempt! Oh, for sure. I'm comfortable with map&compass work on land, so it seems only right to learn the 'trade' on water as well. Bob is terrified to sail into anything.... including a wind over 20 knots or out of the bay. ;-) He's still to show us his spinnaker doing something more exciting than hanging out to dry in 2 knots... I suppose he's trying to toughen up his crew of waifs and strays before they risk hoisting it in 3! -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk |

Sorry, Mooron. I'm afraid you blew it again. Not that your troll really means anything... NY Harbor aboard the Petrel as crew (71 foot yawl), my first sailing experience after learning on Sunfish. Trinidad and Tobago aboard a a real sailing skiff built in the 30's. I was 15. North Carolina, several outings on Hobie Cats and the Hobie monohull. Just a couple of years ago on the cat. Pocono Lake, Laser sailing. LIS, more boats sailed than I could count at the moment! Jersey Shore, Catalina 27 and Galaxy 32. Doing it again next week out of Shark River! Miami, in a god-awful Albacor, but later in a nice lightening. And speaking of Lightenings, we use to sail one along with a Chrysler boat on a PA lake that I don't recall.

Bob can't use a Radar Bob can't navigate Bob can't sail into a slip Bob does try though.... lame as those attempts are in his very limited world of sail. CM Mooron's implication, correctly or incorrectly, appears to be that Bob is an inferior sailor due to his lack of experience sailing in varied venues. If you read my post again, carefully, you'll note that my only mention of Bob was along similar lines, that he has very limited experience sailing in different venues, indeed, based on what Pat told me during our passage, he seems to have very little experience cruising in his "home" waters, which is somewhat ironic given his past claims that he doesn't work a 9-5 job, and was single up until fairly recently. Both of these facts should have allowed Bob to do an extensive amount of cruising, which by his own admission, he hasn't. You might also note that I made no value judgment, only that Bob's lack of cruising experience is an aberration in this ng, I still believe this statement to be correct. In a sarcastic reply you imply that my friend Pat is an inferior sailor, as proof you offer the fact that he's done more cruising in LIS than Bob. So where does that leave Bob? Is Bob a grossly inferior sailor because he hasn't done much cruising in his home waters, or in any other areas? John Cairns |
