Good one Joe,

Damned if I didn't learn something today of interest.

Ole Thom

Too bad Joe didn't post something about how pilothouse sailboats
blow more than any bos'n's whistle.

Yeah Neal,

The Pilothouse is a GREAT PLACE for a Bos's to sound his whistle. High,
dry and warm.

You are learning Neal. Slowly but surely you're learning. I guess we
just have to be patient while you make you're many mistakes :^)

Bwaahahhahahahhahahahahhaah!

A pilot house is a mistake for a tough young man like me because it would make
me too lazy and shut-in but a pilot house is a necessity for an older, pampered
gentleman such as yourself. Even though they are unsightly, if a pilothouse allows
you too sail longer and comforts those old bones then it has it's use.

Now, if only they could invent a sailboat structure that would increase occupant
intelligence . . .

------To increase intelligence--------

Neal,

You mean something like avoiding have to erect a Bimini to protect you
from the elements because you don't have a boat with proper shelter?
Like buying a vessel without an engine and then having to hang one from
the transom because you need an engine? Using a multitude of of head
sailing instead of a single sail on a furler? ( 13% genny )You mean like
championing an area of warm weather for sailing and then building a "Tin
Can Heater" to keep warm?

Is that what you mean Bunkie? Neal, there are a lot of boats built for
intelligent sailors. You do have to have some intelligence to recognize
them:^)

Neal,
The Fog has burnt off, Temperature is rising, Sun is shining. I'm
heading for my boat.

See Ya,
Ole Thom

Lucky you, we're getting more snow tomorrow. 6~10''.
