IIRC, you can use a spinnaker to sail upwind but must not tack with
it.


What do you know? I always use a spinnaker upwind, and also two
bloopers. One on each side.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Or "accidentally" drop your hat in the water and dive in to retrieve it
before anyone can suggest a MOB drill....

Another option is the notorious "Prop Check"

Where you go for a swim and use that as an opportunity to
urinate.

It is clear from your post that she had
figured out that using the bucket was going to be somewhat
embarassing
anyway but doubly difficult when the boat is 'blasting' across the
bay
probably at a considerable angle of heel.

plus Bart holding his digital camera at the ready prolly didn't help
any.


No doubt, Scott! LOL

He could always have them hang out on a trapeze and just let it fly.....

I think LP's referring to Bart's idea of slowing down the plane,

pretending
to do a prop check, then sneaking a pee.

I would find the nearest airport


and pee out of the airplane?

Whoa there....I have never said that Bart is mean...misguided,
yes...mean...I don't think so....he just doesn't think in the right
direction sometimes....and he does have his good side....

I find you particularly mean to women. I agree with everything Katysails

In actuality, I know several Polish women and they have no difficulty
what-so-ever expressing themselves....I do think that Bart could have been
more considerate, but then, I don't know the women and maybe they were
constrained by embarrassment....one would think someone on the boat would
have realized that but what's done is done and they will probably never want
to see Bart again.....

She was a nice girl. Somewhat shy.


But you still managed to make her **** her pants...

Fred and I asked the ladies if they wanted to head back
after passing Middle Ground, and no one said anything!


Those Polish women aren't used to American men, I would bet on it!

katysails September 13th 04 11:27 PM

Oh come on, Joe....Etchell's are wet sailors....the women's husband should
have known that and told them to bring the appropriate clothes (like bathing
suits, maybe?) or nylon shorts....His sin is being inconsiderate, not
stupid.....

#1 Isn't it part of good seamanship to cater for the well being of your
crew. Keeping them dry, well fed, rested and happy?


There is no such thing as "dry" on an Etchells.


That's why any experienced keelboat sailor would have brought along proper
clothing, and not have their butts soaked..

If it's warm waterproof shorts might be enough..


It is a mile out of the river. The choice of routes is not relevant;
avoiding the
shoals in the river is relevant. Once in the Sound, the number of

options
is
limited.

Maybe it would have been nice to stop ashore like halfway up the trip

to
enable the ladies to comfortably relieve themselves?


Halfway was 7 miles from land. Only a lighthouse surrounded by rocks.
On any other route without an inflatable and outboard, there would have
been no place to stop.


"After a quick spin around the Port Jeff harbor, pointing out the

hurricane
hole and other feature of this fabulous harbor, to my friend Fred, we
headed out. I like to learn about new harbors. It's always nice to have
local knowledge of choice harbors."

Well, why couldn't you stop there and take a walk ashore to learn more? Or
maybe you are not confident in maneuvering your boat under sail well

enough
to enter and dock at new harbors..

One would think....
BTW Bart, is the friend still yloour friend?

The plan was boy's day out sailing. The wind looked good for

At the last minute one fellow substituted his wife and her sister


The poor gal was too
embarrassed to use the bucket and pee'd in her pants.


It was her first time sailing. Maybe next time, she think about using
the bucket rather than have a wet butt for 6 hours.


With a last-minute change of crew, at least one of whom is a non-sailor,
shouldn't the skipper have reappraised the situation and altered the plan
accordingly?

In time, katy, you will come to appreciate my true genius.

LP, on the other hand, has no hope of ever comprehending me.

Hey, they were heeled...he could have demonstrated the "hang your butt over"
technique....Expecting people who don't sail to realize the physical limits
that sometimes arise is a mistake....even if he did explain....

I think you're wronging Bart on several points. He wanted to go for a
sail, they wanted to go along. If Bart doesn't have a working head on
board, that's a bit of a barrier to longer sails with women on board...
but at least he tried...
