Should have taken them out in ECHO.

Why? Let them make the choice, which is what I gathered Bart did from
his post. These women decided to go sailing, for whatever reason, and
you assume that all social problems ensuing must be Bart's fault.

Being a native Southerner, I take hospitality seriously. But there are
reasonable limits, especially in a sporting activity engaged in by
mutual consent. By analogy, if I was going mountain climbing and some
friends of friends and wanted to tag along, I would do my best to not
let them fall... but I wouldn't feel an obligation to glue a pillow to
each and every rock...
