Actually Cappy, where the yacht is, the wind was probably less than

Can you explain that?
Do you now start to understand just how little you know?


I know enough to understand a balanced sail plan. The only
time a storm trysail is needed is for survival conditions.
When you're racing in a little fifty-five knot blow you
should be racing - not putzing around with a reefed mainsail
acting afraid. Those guys were clearly hove-to and hove-to
sideways to the wind. The configuration of their hull and
keel did not allow the vessel's head to face the wind.

They put themselves into a dangerous position laying sideways
to the wind and waves. They were asking for a knock-down.

Real sailors would have bent on a balanced sail plan and
run downwind enough to have some way on and some
control. The picture shows an inept crew.

I know you don't like to hear this because you seem to have
some personal identification with the losers but get over it
and face the facts.

I could have and would have done better than they did.

Because it's from Switzerland?

Maybe I should just go sailing in the ocean and save the money?

Only if you live there. Visiting for a "salt scrub" might make the Swiss

I found it odd that Nil claimed he spent all of the time he was absent
"sailing around the Caribbean, then offered absolutely no proof

nothing more than a figment of someone's imagination.

Katy seems convinced that Neal is real, but I'm not convinced he's anything
more than a smelly old gym sock on someone else's hand, all painted up with
a lipstick mouth and two Sharpie eye spots.

Do you understand what "hove-to" is? Please explain what you see in this

Well, I buy it at cost because I'm a distributor, but it's still too damn

Sadly, yes. Or at least counted the beans for something similar. I'd spend
a month each year in the Caribbean, doing "salt scrubs" (read: sailing,
swimming, scuba, and drinking on the beach) if my budget and work permitted.

T'anks. We've have Banrock Station at our local super market. Is that a
lesser line? We may have bought some of the Hardys label as well--can't
remember, you know, with all that wine drinking and brain cell loss . . . .

Most wines these days, both US and Ozzie, are not dry enough for my tastes.
I tend to believe that winemakers are making too many wines "ready to drink"
and too sweet and fruity, in an attempt to appeal to those who really don't
appreciate great dry wines. I'll try the Hardys label, if available, but my
preference runs more toward Bordeaux these days. Damn the Frogs anyhow.

Max

OzOne wrote in message ...


Hmmm, never had a great feel for the Bordeaux..too sweet for my taste.

Really? I find them austere, dry, and not terribly robust. Some of the
better first estates' products are fruity, but I doubt if I'd particularly
like them if they were sweet.

I like em big and balsy.

Penfold's Grange, then. And many of the more massive Californian cabernets,
such as Far Niente, Caymus, or Heitz Cellars.

Thanks! I went to a wine tasting party a few weeks ago and one of the first
Australian wines was the "Yellow Tail" brand (along with a couple of others
I can't recall). By the time it was over, I needed a chauffer to bring me

Before then, I'd never been pressured to empty one of those magnum
