I think he was trying to say that you didn't go sailing while you were out
here.


Don't you think it was presumptuous of him to assume I didn't?

It makes complete sense.


About as much as you typically make, yeah.

You are no sailor,


How do you know what sort of sailor I am. We've never met (thankfully) and
in lieu of actually knowing me, which you don't, you can only bluster and
make false accusations. Which, come to think of it, is pretty much what you
do best and most often.

which is why you think those that go
out sailing in the rain are somehow "diehards".


Again you've assumed I wasn't including myself in that statement. What
makes you think I wasn't sailing as well and describing myself? Of course
the obvious answer is: you didn't think at all. You never do.

You didn't mention it. Did you manage to? The weather was ****ty, but it's
improved quite a bit lately. I don't care either way, since I'm off to the
BVI on Monday.

Is "BVI" a code word for "pokey"?






Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

I repeat: You are no sailor.


Redundancy does nothing to lend veracity. You know nothing about me. If
you did, you'd be embarrassed by your open-mouth / insert-foot stupidity.

Enough said. You're simply not worth the effort of debate.

A friend of my brother and sister-in-law has a 40' custom racer (circa the
mid-90s, IMS, I believe, a Ron Holland design) slipped at the St. Frances
YC. We did a quick circle of Alcatraz and a pass under the bridge, but the
wind was light, it was misting (I believe you Bay Area folks call that
'fog'), and the owner's wife was complaining about being cold, so we cut the
sail short. The boat was really impressive, though. We made 8kts. in 12-14
kts. of wind on a broad reach with main and a smallish 130%. Upwind it
handled wonderfully, but off the wind I thought it was squirrelly. But then
I sail a full-keel boat, and I suspect that makes a bit of difference. His
winches were monstrous Lewmars, making tacks ridiculously easy, almost
without a winch handle. I liked the boat a lot. There were only about 4
other sailboats on the Bay, but lots of freighters and the ubiquitous tour
boats.

If you'll still be in the BVI on the 25th, be sure to take in a full moon
party (take that with either definition) at Bomba's on Tortola, or Foxy's on
Jost. Have fun, you lucky *******. g

Thanks. I'm not sure we'll go to Foxy's, as it's a bit too disco for me.
We'll probably go to Little Harbor. This is our 6th trip.

About time to hang a new t-shirt at Sidney's Peace and Love?

What company are you chartering with, and what boat?
