Asking how far a boat can sail is a lot like asking how far a telescope can
see. With or without a watermaker.

Thom and Scotty sure made it clear what type of "saiilors" they are!

They have watermakers for telescopes?





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Thanks Horass,

That reply about asking a telescope to see is a great comparision to a
sailboat without a crew.

Just like asking a sailboat to tack on the first wind shift without a
crew.

A great reply,

Ole Thom

Ok Bigshot... Whats the longest time you have been at sea without
stepping ashore?

I've done 120 days, And never want to do it again.


Perhaps you should read "The Dove" to Thomas every night as a bedtime
story.
It may inspire him like it did me as a child, or it will make you make
wussie statements like read "NEVER". You will read what a few weeks in
the doldrums can do to a weak person like you.

I think 60 days is about as long as I want to endure. I enjoy the
first 30 days then it starts to get somewhat old.

But nothing like the open ocean, no other place like it one earth,
And the pacific is magical and full of paradise. I've always raced
across it heading to the main ports and would love to get off the well
travel lanes.

I still have great memories of trailing thru some of the largest
chain of islands in the world and seeing guys still in dugout canoes
holding spears.

Flying fish with 4 foot wingspans with a rainbow design that Jon
would envy.
Winged under water creatures bigger than any boat you have ever owned.
And even then....meeting another ship passing in the night. Your more
alive in the middle of the pacific than you ever will be on 5th Ave.

But you weren't sailing were you... so, you can't speak to the subject.

see. With or without a watermaker.

One wonders what Joe is arguing here...? Does he mean to agree with Thom that
his boat is limited in range like Doug's trawler?

One wonders why you answer questions with a question?.


Joe

One knows why you are stupid.

Yes, indeed!
Joe must think his boat has the same range as a powerboat!!!!
Poor Joey!

Pot, kettle, black!

It is a constant source of amusement to me how the world's biggest
pretend sailor, Knobspittle, fails to understand how much of a
buffoon he appears to us real sailor. Most of the thing he writes
here demonstrate he has little or no comprehension of what sailing
is all about.

While I'm out and about sailing most of the year, Booby is still
internet armchair sailing attempting to be somebody. The only way
Booby could ever be a contender is if he got a job as Micheal
Moore's Key Grip.

Show some respect to Ole Thom, please. The man's little pinky is
more of a sailor than your entire fat body.

Respectfully,
Capt. Neal
(Sailed over three thousand miles so far this year)
