What's your longest trip ( miles / days) on your
boat , so far?


550 miles/16 days.

The longest leg was 148 miles/ 26 hours. It included the best and worst
sailing that I've done. The first 7 hours were horrible (F7-8 on the

nose),
the last 10 hours were fantastic ... F4-5 on the quarter.

And based on your previous statements, we can safely assume that you

motored 85%
of the time?


You would make assumptions, wouldn't you?


Like all people who make assumptions, you are incapable of sifting all of
the evidence. Your limited intelligence prevents you from remembering
anything that doesn't back up your incorrect assertion.


One of my previons statements concerned the size of my fuel tank. It only
holds 10 gallons!

Sooo, based on your statements, we can safely assume that you know nothing.

drinking alone.

Well, my 387 NM in 15 days was done by myself. :p~

Maybe I should try mouthwash?

You made a direct statement that cruisers motor 85% of the time. My only
assumption is that you include yourself in that belief.


One of my previons statements concerned the size of my fuel tank. It only
holds 10 gallons!


And how much do the 20, 5 gallon cans tied to your railing hold? Enough to
get
you 148 miles in 26 hours during your longest leg? Of those 26 hours, you
only
accounted for 17 where you even claimed to have the sials up. There are 9
hours
you won't even talk about. Were you being towed? Aground? Lost?


Sooo, based on your statements, we can safely assume that you know
nothing.


Looks like I hit the nail on the head, Donald.

"assumption", huh? I am truly astonished by your intelligence. Are you on
a ventilator? How do you remember to breathe?

What an inexperienced pratt you are!!

Can't you figure out what the middle 9 hours were like? Any sailor who read
my description would know that the middle 9 hours ...[snip .. I can't be
bothered to explain]

You should be very proud of yourself. I'm impressed that somebody who knows
nothing at all about the weather is able to post messages to Usenet. Soon,
you will be able to tie your own shoelaces.

Scott,

It looks like your fuel tank is 12 gals. That 5 gals should leave you
with just over 1/2 tank. Is it so?

Leaving you a motoring range of 250+ NM A nice set-up for a Coastal
cruiser.

Donal,

You don't have to try to educate an ASSHOLE. You made a 16 day /550 mile
trip on your vessel. How you did it is your business and on one elses.
We have Aux. Their our vessels and we can use them any damn way we
please.

Ole Thom
