John,

We are a Group of sailors that are more or less happy with one another.
We don't really fit into a "Mold"

I like to think of us as a group of sailors in the "Club" bar, after the
races letting our hair down, so to speak.

There is a lot of sailing knowledge in the group but we're not going to
be bound to it. As you can see right now with our politics. We spend a
lot of time on BS like any sailor after a "Few Drinks" at the bar. We
are Opinionated, (Oh Yes) I do think we all admit to it!! We accept the
fact that not " Everyone cannot be as Brilliant as Me" and make
allowances. It makes for good discussions.

That is my thought of the group, I'm sure other see it differently.
We've lost some damn good sailor because of it but we have made some
very good 'Net friends. and we are friends.

So, I think you are aware of who we are and we welcome you to our
(Clique) and it is a clique but a open clique.

If you came to us looking for sailing knowledge you can find it BUT you
better have a thick skin. If you just want information there are other
groups that will suit you better. WE ARE NOT THE COAST GUARD AUX.

Welcome John! I like your new (USED) boat. It's a beauty
