I have noted a rise in frustration lately on this group.

I think many people are frustrated and showing that frustration by
being grouchy, mean and crass. Take Katysails, for example. She has
become the witch we all knew she was. She could no longer keep up
the facade of being somewhat normal.

Mooron is clearly angry and upset at being shut in and not able to
sail his sturdy but slow vessel. Gaynz is probably afraid to sail his
tiny craft with all the rain and storms California is having.

Ole Thom seems to be somewhat out of sorts in that the conditions
in his neck of the woods is not conducive to sailing either.

Please note how the above people who claim to be sailors have got
themselves stuck in places where sailing is but a dream most of the
year. One must wonder why they remain living in regions where they
know they will be frustrated most of the year?

Is it because they are stupid? Lazy? Unmotivated? Trapped? Awaiting
trial? Perhaps, but I think the real reason boils down to the fact
that
they are, in their hearts, lubbers. If they were really sailors they
would have found a way to live in places that allow them to sail on
a year round basis.

The only conclusion I can draw is Joe and I are the only real sailors
on this newsgroup.

Indeed to suffer a sailing less 6+ mo a years, and to have to wrap
your boat is down right lubbery. To own a boat that is not capable of
living aboard... and not living aboard... put you in the class of the
weekend warriors. And to not have the seatime or ambition to sit for a
Capt. ticket shows no ambition or savy of the way of the sea.....and
again is lubbery. How they can sleep at night without being rocked to
bed is beyond me. Anyone who spends more time ashore than afloat is
lubbery IMHO.

Joe

You and I think alike in many ways. We may differ as to which is the
proper hull material for a small blue water yacht but we definitely
have our priorities straight in that we choose to live aboard rather
than ashore. We choose freedom over servitude, challenge over
sloth, variety over hum-drum, simplicity over complication, being in
control over being controlled and Mother Nature over works of man.

Ours is the life of a nomad, a warrior, a man in harmony who is not
afraid to face a variety of challenges and to control our own destiny
while employing any number of learned and innate skills to keep our
home and conveyance operational and reliable so that, by the work
of our own hands we trust our very lives. We are men and proud men
at that.

Would that there were more such men here and in the world to keep
it from being the mean and tawdry place it has become of late.

Hope to see you, your stout ship and fine crew on the high seas one of
these days.

Respectfully,
Capt. Neal

Better than from such as you - the stoned, the shut-in and the lubberly
(not to mention cocksure, crude, crass and craven). Get a life - become
a sailor instead of a land-bound laborer.

I've never been described as C4..... but a change would be required ...
cocksure, cunning, courageous and clever would be acceptable and much closer
to the truth of the matter.
