Annual LURKER Check-In !!!
 

Annual LURKER Check-In !!!

For those of you lurking out there. This is the
annual Lurker Check-in.

Lurkers are those that read posts but do not post
responses or start threads.

You don't have to post anything intelligent, just
your handle and location, include boat name,
type and model, if you have one.

This is your big chance to get easy points.

If you don't check in, nothing bad will happen to you,
you will just remain POINTLESS!

1 point award per fact you provide.

Those of you that have posted and do not have any
points at all, or you are not sure if you have any points,
you can check in now for free alt.sailing.asa newgroups
points.

Hi,
My name is katy and I'm a lurker.
I have a Kirie Elite 32 built in LaRochelle France, marconi rigged sloop
with an 18hp Volvo Penta diesel engine and sail the Sea of Michigan.
I also have a Butterfly named Katydid that is in the barn waiting to have
her hull sanded from the repair I made when some nefarious creature stove
her in...I also have a rowing dinghy named Chanty (big boat's named
Chanteuse) that is quite tippy but carts Mr Sails, me, Chooper the gigantic
poodle and all our stuff back and forth every weekend between May 1 through
October 15.
I am only posting this because I need to acquire more points since I
foolishly gave mine away to LP thinking she had a brain in her head, but
since she's decided to consort with pedophilic sailors, I think those points
should be annulled.

Bart;

Ole Thom here. I've been pretty busy with the posting but have to admit
I've been off course often with the damn "Social Event" topic. I working
on getting back on Topic (with the help of Crap-a-ton Neal) I've been
sailing a true course. We have been ragging one another, our boats, our
sailing and what ever. It has be good to talk sailing,

Got a Digital Camera (for myself for Christmas) and I love it! I was
making a pest of myself with single posting, so I built a Web Page. You
can look at them or not, as you see fit.

I'm a year older ( 78) and after this sailing season I'll be 79. 1st
week of Sept.

Had a new bottom put on "Pneuma" Last year and a new Main. Installed a
new fore stay and a new Harkens Furler.

Had a stroke of good luck. A new neighbor moved into the Cull-de-Sac and
is a Hobie sailor and I've taught him the joys of a Pilothouse Sloop
this Winter. Northwest Winter, here in Bellingham have been good.

Check the web page and if you want a picture of anything (grin) I'll be
glad to put it in my web.

Sorry to hear about your heart. I had the same procedure about four
years ago. Slow my pace down to accommodate it and doing fine.

Good report Thom. I count thirteen facts. I'll give another
2 points for being the patriarch of the group. 15 points.

I can't believe you give points for chronics such as Katysailsfrenchcrap and Ole Thom.

Since both apparently are too daft to understand what 'lurker' means they should get
points taken away.

Ok Bart
I want some points although I'm not sure what I will do with them.
I use my real name and I am located in Roswell Georgia. I have a 1982
Catalina 27 (Tire Swing. I have had this boat since new but it is up
for sale. I should get additional points here because the sail number
matches the last four digits of my phone number. I also have a O'day
40 (Savannah Daydreamin) that we use to cruise the Bahamas. Due to a
family member medical problems we didn't go this year so I decided to
become a "lurker".
How many points do I get?

My name is Ed Gordon.

I used to post here but I got tired of Bobsprit and his constant harassing me.
I don't think I've posted since about 1995 or so. All you people don't have
a clue about sailing. I still sail my Mac26X and I LOVE it. I even made a
circumnavigation of South America with it as I said I would. I was out
sailing for two years while all you little bitches remained here and
made liars out of yourself by posting instead of sailing. I still sail
my Mac all over the place and I was right about everything, The Mac
is a seaworthy boat and other than a couple of things like a dismasting,
a broken rudder or two, furniture ripping loose, the transom cracking,
etc. I haven't had any problems so why don't you people STOP CRITICIZING
MY GREAT LITTLE BOAT. I HATE THIS GROUP BECAUSE YOU ARE
JUST A BUNCH OF @#*#*$&%% pretenders and assholes.

THIS IS THE LAST POST I'M GONNA MAKE FOR ANOTHER TWO
FRIGGIN YEARS SO SUFFER ALL YOU WANNABES.

Sailors tend not be be lame people. However, the lack of
a "lurker check-in" turn-out is disappointing. I can only draw
the conclusion that such people are lame for not checking
in, and therefor not sailors because they are lame.

If a few regulars check-in then at least it keeps the thread
alive for another few days. And who knows where it will go.

As far as points go. The one point'ers you have earned
have more value than gratuitous points given in this thread.

What is your first name JR? Or is that what you like to
be called?

Your response is good for 10 points! You are now a
blooded veteran.

More importantly, you are not POINTLESS! Everyone
should have a few points.

Thanks for participating.

When I was in the Air Force I had to evaluate my troops
on their performance reports. I thought that was pointless.
The lesson I learned was ratings don't matter, finding ways
to motivate people is what is important.

I started posing questions in here years ago. At some point,
I believe when I felt we were needed to get back to discussing
sailing, I started posing questions as a method of starting
sailing discussions. This is a tough crowd. I've had to put
some effort into coming up with good questions. Lately
I've been posing USCG questions which helped eliminate
arguments about the answers.

Other people have since posed questions and awarded points.
It is a fine tradition which I hope will continue long after I'm gone.

Since then it has taken on a life it's own. Once someone
complained about not having any points. My feeling is
everyone should be able to earn some. Why not?

The earliest recorded point awarded I found was 1 Feb 2002.
Can you find an earlier one? [1 pt]

Great fun flying those things. Almost as much fun as sailing.

haven't posted much and haven't been sailing in almost a year.

We have steady breezes, blue skys, and no water, unless you count a muddy
ditch called the Pecos River.

I'm looking at ultra-lights to "sail" the dessert. Anybody have any
experience with them?

As in ordering a new one? Have you considered a Sabre instead?

BTW thanks for checking in. It helps remind us regulars that no matter
bizarre & unlikely it seems, there is an actual real world out there!

No sailboat at present. Former owner of various keelboats and planning

They are two *totally* different boats.

I suspect that you haven't fully thought out your priorities.

Are you more interested in dockside comfort (Tartan), or performance afloat
(Beneteau)?

Welcome back Frank. You've posted some good stuff in the past.

What kind of boat are you thinking of getting?

My kids are currently 15 and 18, and it is very difficult to get them to go
sailing. Get your boat ASAP if you want to have them involved.

I've sailed a Tartan 4100... they are pretty zippy. Definitely on par
with one of the First series of similar size.
