Winter is taking its toll
Judging from the perpetuation of mindless, worthless, senseless threads in
ASA, it would appear that old man winter has done his damage to this body of northern sailors. Spring isn't far away, to be sure, but cabin fever generally exacts its greatest toll just before the weather breaks. Buck up, mates, for better times aren't far off.

I've noticed the angst. I enjoy prodding it along to make
all the northern ******s suffer. Now that they have been reduced to simple, childish, name-calling, it makes my day and my point that real sailors don't live up north. I think Joe enjoys seeing them suffer as well as he sure likes to egg them on . . . Such luxuries as we real southern sailors enjoy are priceless. CN "Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net...

Katy, Hurricane season is enjoyable if you own the proper boat and know
how to weather any storm. Its not like you have to worry about getting flooded. It may be a bad time for lubbers but a nice warm place to live is worth the risk. Ive been thru 5-6 hurricanes and only had one item trashed, a 22' camper on jacks rolled across the lawn. My fault.I was offshore and did not have it properly secured. You know the news people look for the worst to show you Yankee's on TV. Joe |

Katy, Hurricane season is enjoyable If you don't get hit by a hurricane. Remember, a hurricane only lasts 12 hours, maybe less. Of course, the preparation takes a day or two and the clean-up can take longer, but not every place gets a hurricane every year. You can't say the same about winter! ... if you own the proper boat and know how to weather any storm. Yeah, right. There certainly is such a thing as being prepared, but if a Cat 5 hurricane nails you, you're lucky to be alive. Or if a neighbors less-well-prepared boat slams into yours, blowing debris, etc etc. ... You know the news people look for the worst to show you Yankee's on TV. Sure.

A category five is no big deal. I rode out Andrew which was a category five and
I suffered no damage other than a torn bimini top. It was six years old and ready to go, anyway. The only thing to worry about in a category 5 is the core which is usually less than fifty miles in diameter. It's easy enough to avoid with the modern tracking methods and radar and satellite imagery. CN OzOne wrote in message ...

I've lived in hurricane country for almost twenty years now. I've seen them come and I've seen them go. I have no fear of them. They are hyped up all out of proportion to the danger they might cause to a well-found vessel anchored or moored out in a safe "hurricane hole'. Every real sailor has a hurricane hole and a plan to use it along with all the necessary gear aboard. The winds and waves aren't the danger - the real danger is the idiots ashore and their docks full of unsecured boats and their roofs blowing off, etc. And, that's the truth! CN |

My wife has gone from racing tactician to teak nazi. Nowadays when we walk around looking at boats, she is as likely to criticize the brightwork as make a comment about the rig or design. And one thing we agree on (actually we agree on many things) is that we have never seen a Cetol finish that looked as good as even a half-assed varnish finish much less a good one. You can read a newspaper in the reflection off our brightwork, which is not half-assed IMHO. If Maxprop's boat has decent wood on it, she deserves better. Fresh Brushes- Doug King |
