Pardon me for interrupting your intellectual arrogance, but most people
in the U.S. comprehend the metric system quite well.

Yep. So it almost everything else of a technical nature.

Yes... sure you do..... can you translate your latest rant into metric so
we can all enjoy it?
Us Gallon...vs... Imperial Gallon.... ouch it all hurts my head!

Yep again. Tristan Jones had a theory that the metric system led to
mental atrophy... maybe he was right!

The problem that people have is that they try to convert....you just learn

I'm setting a record for agreement here! There is almost no reason to
convert the usual everyday measures from English (or SAE) to metric...
The phrase "furlongs per fortnight" refers to this kind of time-wasting
kludgery...

Now shall we discuss the use of centistokes vs Pascals or
ergs vs BTU ??

.... it's like learning
another language...you really aren't fluent until you can stop using the
dictionary in your head to translate....and I could translate my last rant
into metre, but I'm not feeling very poetic right now...!

Well, that gives me something to look forward to for the rest of the week!

Do you think that heavy steel boat could keep up with
my modern GRP machine?

Yeah right, Ill do 9 knots 24/7 can you?



I think I'd like to hit Viet Nam. Might be able to find
a suitable mate there who has not been spoiled by
western philosophy.


I just want to pick up a couple hundred Elephant hair braclets in
Vietnam to sell on ebay, You can buy them in vietnam for about a 50
cents each and they sell on ebay for about 45-60 dollars. Most likey
you can find a mate in the Phillipines easier, just tell her you have
a camero and she yours for life.
Also know a guy in Subic who has some surplus WW11 harleys still in
the crate. They would sell for bigbucks on ebay.

The Caribbean is becoming old hat though

not seen.

I'm kicking around the possibility of going
'round the Horn and heading off to the
South Sea islands. Of course, I would
continue around to close the circle.


Sounds like a challenge to be taken.

I'll meet you at the equator head to Christmas stop in Palmyra, head
to the bakers, Howland, Gilberts, Tarawa, Marshall's, Wake, Marcus,
Phillippines, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Sri Lanka, India,
Pakistan, Iran ,Kuwait, Oman, Yeman, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy,
Spain, Carninals, Florida.



I figure at my leisurely pace it should take
three or four years.

The question I must ask is could you guys
and gals survive that long without me?



With the right equipment onboard you could update the group as you
go. But it would have to be a pay to view website to make it worth
while.

it well hidden).

bottom?
