CN,

Are you saying your Yellow Boat, Hanging on the mooring in Fla, didn't
bear the name of a very famous song and banana? Are you saying the
story you told about the locals in Bermuda saying that Yellow boat cut
the mustard and you used the name?

I think you are confusing your dream state with your awakened state.

Are you saying the Sheer Keel was the original Keel on the Coranado?

It's Scheel Keel and I said it was LIKE a Scheel keel. I never said
it was a real Scheel Keel.

Are you saying the Coranado originally came with a Mid-Boom traveler?
Drilling the original boom didn't weaken it ?

Yes, sir, it originally came with mid bood sheeting.


An Awful lot of contradiction have entered your life since your return;
almost like lying. I do believe there are enough people on the list
that will remember the earlier posts.

Sorry, Ole Thom you might wish to examine your notes as your
memory seems to be lacking of late. Not to worry, though, it's
probably not Alzheimers because that involves short-term memory
and your problem seems to be the longer term memory. Alcohol
affects the longer term memory.

Ole Thom

Do you still keep a lumberyard of plywood under your v-berth? I believe
Thom is referring to references of "Chiquita Banana"...

Hey, Ole Thom, you should learn how to separate wishful thinking
from reality. For one thing, the broken boom happened years after
I made my way successfully down to the sea. If you will kick start
some of those alcohol-soaked brain cells of yours, you would recall
the boom broke while I was beating out of St. Augustine in half a gale.
That inlet is known for steep and dangerous seas in on-shore
weather because it shoals and waves often break all across the bar.

I believe the Columbia River bar is a bigger example of it. You should
be familiar with that inlet being as how you profess to live up there
in Washington State.

As for my fine blue water yacht's name, the fellow I bought her from
had her named "Autumn." I did not like that name so I changed it to
"Cut the Mustard." I have never called her anything else. Where you
got the idea she had multiple names is a matter of examining your
own thought processes. How any sane man could take as fact some
of the ramblings of the losers in this group over the actuality that is
Capt. Neal® borders on the farcical.

Furthermore, this fixation you have on my having moved the keel is
bordering on delusion. Again, sir, the keel is still in its original
place.
I did not ever say I moved it and unless you can come up with where
I said I moved it and post it to prove your contention, then why not
admit your error?

All I ever said is I refitted the keel meaning I added some extra keel
bolts. Perhaps you assumed refitting means removing. To this sailor
refitting means fitting it with new hardware. This was done in the
water and did NOT involve removing the keel. I believe I mentioned
this procedure on my website. Please don't allow your misconceptions
and ignorance of nautical terms to cloud your judgment, sir.

As for the positive flotation project, that is true and factual. I have
poured all the dead space between the hull and the component with
two-part, closed cell, urethane foam. My fine, blue water yacht is
similar to an Etap or a Boston Whaler in that there is the hull, there
is foam and there is the inner liner (component). Not only that, but
there is no unsightly, heavy pilothouse on this Captain's real sailboat.

You have a pretty good memory for an old coot but you have a lot
of the details wrong. I guess you can be forgiven since it is more
a problem with reading comprehension than memory in my humble
opinion. For an old relic you could be a lot worse off. Heck,
compare yourself to the dazed, confused, bitter and psychotic
mental state of the Gay One who is half your age and you will
have to admit you are practically an Einstein.

Cheers! And, I'll drink to THAT!

Seriously, Ole Thom, let me be among the first to wish you a
Merry Christmas this year and many, many more to come.

Respectfully,
Capt. Neal

Hey Crapton,

Mr everything right, How about a post on the Broken Boom? How about a
History of the names on the "Banana Boat" before you changed the name
because of all the laughs the ASA was having? How about the true story
of the Keel?

Tell us about your project of making her unsinkable?

How about a re-telling of shooting the Inlet against the CG advice?

How about that for an Old Man's memory?

I still have many more of your tales. I'll save them. In the mean time,
Crapton. These are stories that you have posted. The real Crapton will
has no problem recalling them for the Newbies. (Nor will I)

Greetings Edgar,

Could you please try to search Lloyds for the C. Warden,
That was her original name not C Search or Sea Search.
It would be much appreacited.

Thanks
Joe
Sorry, Joe but no luck.
I have searched both years for C Warden, , C **** Warden, Sea Warden,
also plain Warden but nothing shows.
Is she chine or round bilge? Round bilge in steel would certainly mean a
top boatyard, probably Dutch, but steel hulls with chines can be built
anywhere. A friend of mine has just completed a steel 70 footer with three
masts that took him and his wife 15 years to build .

It is a rounded hull and bilge,no hard chines.

CN,

I went back and looked at you "Web Site"
You have the Gall to call that Bulbous affair a fine entry? I'll send
you a really better looking entry and from my Pilothouse Sloop. There
are many boats with sharper, cleaner hull than mine but compared to
yours its an AMERICAN CUPPER

However, that wasn't that reason for going to your Web. I want again, to
look at the balance of your Rig (Mast placement) in respect to your
keel. CN, I'm saying you're selling the Newbies a load of BS. Bill Tripp
never, ever would have set a keel that far forward on the hull and left
the Mast, and center of effort of the main, that far back on the keel.

I'm saying this because I don't believe you would do such a mean
spirited thing and I want to point out the facts

I mean "no anchoring allowed." You have to get a mooring.

Katy,

I think Neal's name was simply "Chiguita" but it was in reference to the
Banana song.

Now he is hedging on Mr Everything Right because of time. Not that he
neglected proper use.

I also, Checked his story about the Keel from his own "Web Site" Along
with the pictures, Some of his asinine comments.

His rebuttals really don't have a real Neal way about them, So be it,
they do make interesting comments

How's it feel being high and dry ? I haven't been that way in
thirty-five years.
Luck of the draw on work transfer!

Guess I can't give you the;"I'll drink to that!" You know better but
I'm a happy old man out here.

Ole Thom
