Most of them started sailing while in diapers... now I'm
wearing them.

That you'd be unwise to eat fish from them?

Well, except for Great Slave Lake, probably. Not much population density
around it... oh wait do they dump the uranium mine tailings into it?

Never mind............

I'm seriously jealous. Took me 54 years to learn how. Getting to be a
lost
art in my workplace though along with splicing etc. We don't do wire
splices anymore at all. Hard to find younger deck crew who really learned
the knots and how to splice. It's a constant teaching chore. Seriously
you
can tell who sails 'sails' and who sails steam and diesel by watching how
they handle lines. The 'real' sailors shine and the others stick out like
a
sore thumb.

Well I'm not a pinnacle of marlinspike seamanship... but Old Capt.
Haines
taught me the single hand bowline... told me it would be one of the most
useful skills in knots to master. He was right.
[What you refer to as the Tugboat Bowline]

I've taught my crew and even my 6 year old niece can tie one now.

Cripes. Can't ANY of you lot recognise when you're being told to
get knotted?

Why would any sailor want to roll up and secure a woman to something else?

Katy, I get far worse than THom's tiddlers in my lake, and it's a
helluva lot smaller than yours. AND the catamaran and skiff
sailors love it, what's more...

OK Group,

I'll try to make myself understood about the difference between Lake and
Salt water sailing.

I, in no way, meant to put down the ability of Lake sailors. My friend
Don, is a damn good sailor. He is a Hobie sailor. I have no dought in my
mind that he has sailed in conditions much more severe than those I
described and enjoyed the hell out of it.

What the difference was the vessel being sailed. In his lake sailing he
didn't have to worry about a capsize. That was part of the fun. The
unknown was putting a boat with a galley, sleeping quarters, An inboard
engine etc over. He is just learning what a Keel boat can take. Sorry,
again a cruising keel boat. He is new to that type of sailing.

You Great Lake sailors and Inland Lake Cruising sailors weren't meant to
be slighted
