Feel free to cause some chaos, tho. At least it *might* be witty,
unlike the current poor lot.

Good to see you back.. hope the trip was good.

Heard from a buddy of mine who is an Outfitter... some American guy called
and asked if it was legal to hunt Penguins in Kugluktuk.... Canadian
Arctic!!!! Ha Ha Ha!!

Started work here so I'm busy... checked the mail and found out than Ganz
had snapped and filed an abuse claim. Like they're gonna ditch a $100/mth
client for that..... not likely. All because I called him Gay.... a
hundred thousand times.... honest it was like an addiction.

Anyway... the level of wit has dropped substantially and I'm so totally
against censorship ... unless it benefits me... that I'm glad to have less
time to spend here.

I'll check in time to time.

Tell me about it, I've been gone for nearly 4 months. Fremantle down
115E to 65S then NW across Kerguelen plateau, south over the Princess
Elizabeth Trough back to 67S through the pack and a fast run back to
Hobart.

Souns like a great trip..... I envy you.


Perfect autumn weather ATM so I've been sailing at least 3 days/week.
Went out yesterday afternoon in perfect conditions, tacking into the
Channel out the front of my place and watched the sunset over the
western hills. Wind died at sunset so I just drifted until the land
breeze kicked in and sailed back on zephyrs to the beach. Home for a
hot shower, a bottle of cab shiraz and dinner.

Damn I'm working 5/12s


Here - faugh. Time to exercise the killfile filters - again.

Never engage them..... just don't reply.


When you going to launch Overproof?

Group launch should be mid May or June first..... earlier the better.

So she should, too. Getting you booted rates as a public service right
along with stepping on cockroaches. Of course, in your case, when you
step on one, it's not due to intent but more that there simply isn't
any floor space in your floating hovel off a tropical hellhole that
isn't completely covered at least 3 deep, feeding off the debris of
your pathetic existence.

Peter, (sort of an apt name, BTW)

Getting booted and breaking rules on purpose to reveal netKKKops
like Ganz and KKKatyKunt are two different things. Isn't it sad
when you consider it that KKKatyKunt and Ganz both had a chance
to read my post a week or two ago saying I was not continuing with
Individual net since they were becoming a pay service as of April 1
but they went ahead and revealed themselves anyhow to be netcops?

All for the privilege of depriving me of three or four days of a
service I was dropping anyhow. Seems like a ludicrous trade-off
to me but nobody ever claimed Ganz or Katysails had even a hint
of a brain. I kinda feel sorry for both of them - so stupid, so pitiful . . .

Lost nothing, broke nothing, recovered 8 deep sea mooring strings we'd
deployed on the plateau 2 years ago, did every sampling station except
one where there was about 2 megatonnes of ice on top, pulled the
summerers out & got back early. Doesn't get much better than that.

Hunting penguins anyway - roflmao. What you do is, sit down and wait.
The penguins walk up to you to see what's going on. Then, as an
intelligent person, you can start talking to them. I've had some very
entertaining conversations with Emperor pengies, tho Adelies are a bit
scatterbrained to stay on topic for long.

Nobody *hunts* penguins. Idiots slaughter penguins, but hunting implies
some modicum of effort or skill.

This lot have had their stingers reversed. Same crowd of losers as last
time. Peter Ross, Gawwy Burnore et al. Been there, done that. As
Heinlein once said, they think they're wits but they're only half
right.

Don't work too hard & drop me a line if you're coming this way. I have
a case of Inner Circle 75% OP in stock.

And Gayness says I'm your sock puppet.
I guess he's right. That's how I'm still posting through Individual
net, Huh?

Welcome back, Peter. Stick around, maybe it will get better here once
us Northerners get splashed - things are always wacky at the end of
winter.

Oh I don't know about that Dave, when I bought my CS27 I met a guy who just returned from his third circumnavigation,
(in a 57' Swan no less), He told me he had run into quite a few CS27s all around the world and that it was not unusual to
make lengthy ocean passages in them. Speaking for myself I'd rather do it in the Swan.

Yah, right! Like anybody believes you could do it in anything less than a cruise ship.

December 23 to Feb 18. Been working up data & sailing my toy boat since
then. Ship is back tomorrow from the last voyage and next week I'm off
to dry dock for 2 weeks. Always fun seeing if there are any more big
dents in the hull :-) Icebreakers are really the only class of ship
where running into stuff is compulsory.

Good. That phrase always reminds me of Ti-D-Bowl ads.

If you'd asked nicely, maybe he'd have invited you

It's true that you see all kinds of boats anchored in unlikely places.
Some of them will obviously never sail home again; others you wonder
what the story is. Once while poking around Central America on Uncle
Sam's dime, I saw a Venture 222 anchored proudly among the
knocked-together fishing skiffs in a remote Honduran village. It
belonged to a gringo who had sailed there and was helping a scientist
doing field studies of tropical birds.

Dave wrote:
At least one review did indicate that the boat has "some offshore
capabilities."

I'd say that in it's class, the CS-27 is a better passagemaker and
sounder offshore boat than most. It's got pretty good numbers and is a
well built boat.

OTOH just yesterday I was reading about a guy who circumnavigated in a
Catalina 27.
