Calling Miss Terry Mermaid
Just where is that sexy, redheaded, sailing wench these days?
Does she still look as good? Is she available for a decent fiberglass boat and real captain? Respectfully, Capt. Neal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Her hair is red from that rusty bilgewater. There's not enough cat litter
below to soak it up. Amen! Bob Crantz "Capt,Neal?" wrote in message om... Just where is that sexy, redheaded, sailing wench these days? Does she still look as good? Is she available for a decent fiberglass boat and real captain? Respectfully, Capt. Neal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

You are so lucky to have such a splendid example of a female sailor in your life. If I were you I would be sure to keep her VERY satisfied so she never looks elsewhere for male companionship. A word of warning. Keep her away from the Florida Keys for if ever she lays eyes on me and my fine, fiberglass vessel she will surely jump ship and bless mine with her competence, grace and lustful abandon. If and when she has enough of scraping rust off your bluewater voyaging vessel remind her there is a stout fiberglass vessel of the same bent available where she can enjoy the sailing without all the endless broken fingernails fighting rust.

Only in your wetdreams do you have a decent fiberglass boat, and your 100 ton Captains licences will always be a inferior licences to Ms Terrys licences. She has had and used hers for many more years than you. And she has mastered vessels that are of the maxium size allowed by law for a 100 ton ticket. You... on the other hand have never mastered anything requiring the full skills of a true 100 ton Master. Real masters know that a USCG ticket is just a ticket to learn, and until you have pushed your ticket to the max for 10 + years you will be a junior officer to Ms Terry at best. Regards, Capt.

Ganz is an idiot. It's obvious to any real sailor that you, Joe, are
a sailor and a man's man. Anyone who could attract and hold the likes of Miss Terry can't be anything but a professional mariner. Respectfully, Capt. Neal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Joe" wrote in message om...

I did, indeed, say that. However, I fail to see any contradiction.
Many a "professional mariner" nay, MOST professional mariners are motor heads and not sailors. A professional mariner who is a sailor would never consider cutting his sailboat in half and adding length but a plain, run-of-the-mill, professional mariner (sic) such as that Shen44 sailing wannabe might.

I thought you said that making major modifications such as that was was the mark of a non-sailing lubber? BB Respectfully, Capt. Neal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Anyone who could attract and hold the likes of Miss Terry can't be anything but a professional mariner. Indeed you are correct Capt. Thats because I treat ladies and boats with respect.

However.... if we are ever in a Birkenhead situation Ms Terry may argue to stay aboard, after all she is a professional mariner...and as such is bound by duty and honor. I can and will pull rank in a dire situation. For those not familiar with The Brikenhead: Excerpted from Journal of American Culture, Winter 97, Vol. 20, Issue 4, p. 19 In January of 1852, the Birkenhead, a fully loaded transport carrying British troops and over two dozen of their family members from Cork [Ireland] to Capetown [South Africa] struck an uncharted rock near the African coast. The few lifeboats she carried were sufficient to save only a fraction of those on board. In an atmosphere of calm and military discipline, wives and children were loaded into three small boats that then pulled away from the doomed vessel. The captain next ordered all to abandon ship and swim for the boats. The army officers countermanded the order, knowing that if hundreds of soldiers and marines swam for the three small craft and tried to board them, they would be swamped and all would drown. Not more than three men ignored orders and jumped into the sea. The remaining hundreds stood fast. Shortly after the boats were safely away, the Birkenhead slipped off the rock and plunged to the bottom as the cargo of iron-disciplined troops stood at attention on her deck. One of the officers who survived the ordeal, a Lieutenant Lucas of the 73rd Regiment, described the scene on the ill-fated ship before she went under. His measured and understated prose conveys the sense of discipline and duty that prevailed in the face of what appeared to be certain death for most of those who participated in the events he described. The ship was now rolling her yardarms in the sea, and it was no light matter to keep one's legs. It is not easy to imagine a more painful task than that of getting the wretched women into the boats. This was in several cases done by main force. Tearing them from their husbands, they were carried to the bulwarks and dropped over the ship's side into the arms of the boat's crew. The whole of the women and children, thirty in all, were safely stowed in the boats when they shoved off. Lucas concluded his testimony by thanking God that it could "seldom be said that Englishmen have left women and children to perish and saved their own lives!" The heroism of the men was widely celebrated in the popular press at the time of the sinking, and in due course Rudyard Kipling paid tribute to the courage of the ship's marines in "A Soldier an' Sailor Too." Referring to them as Jollies, he wrote: To take your chance in the thick of a rush, with firing all about, Is nothing so bad when you've cover to' and, an' leave an' likin' to shout; But to stand an' be still to the Birken'ead drill is a damn' tough bullet to chew, An' they done it, the Jollies--'Er Majesty's Jollies--soldier and sailor too. Three-quarters of a century after the sinking of the Birkenhead, maritime historian J. G.

Once and for all on that January night, it was laid down that...when the alarm has been given and the ship is sinking and the boats are being lowered, the women and children on board must first be saved.

A good story.
However, I have never understood the "women and children first" philosophy. It seems to me that the life of a man in his prime who holds a responsible job and is a law-abiding citizen should be valued above that of a woman who is a dependent creature with little or no ways or means of her own. Even the more so for children who are but potentially useful human being. Rational thought would dictate that the lives of productive, able-bodied men are far more important than potential and dependency. In my opinion this saving the lives of woman and children first in a shipwreck can only be said to be noble, stupid but noble. I do not subscribe to it. Respectfully, Capt.
