Poor, desperate Booby. He spent $70,000 bucks on a "racer/cruiser"
but he actually does neither! He wants everyone to be envious, but
all he really gets is our pity!

Sorry Bob, you have a nice club racer. If you actually raced it, I'd
be happy for you. But you picked this boat because you wanted a
private cabin, but all you got was a crawl space with no ventilation.

You poke fun at me because I don't hesitate to power when traveling,
but the only advantage you seem to have over me a an air conditioner
that you can only use at the dock. Get a clue booby: a bendy makes a
terrible houseboat!

And there are more of you, mostly all frauds, fakes and wannabes.
Anyone who truly loves sailing is an affront to you as it confirms that
the soul of sailing has died within you long ago.

We love sailing. And our engines stay off, even when our speed drops to
1 knot. Learn to live with that.

This is getting really good!!!! Why have ventilation when all you can smell
is raw sewage?

Is the corollary that Boobsie makes a poor sailor?

Bwaaahaaahaahaahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Amen!

No lava for you Jeff!

LOL ..................... I love a good joke at lunch.

but the only advantage you seem to have over me a an air conditioner
that you can only use at the dock.

Our boat handles better than your boat. It's more fun to sail. It cost
a LOT less than 70K and we bought it outright. It's gone up in value
for the last 4 years as well. It's fun to daysail, even for a short
sail. It doesn't need to be stripped down or sailed hard to be fun.
That's not only an advantage over your boat, it's the whole reason
we're out there.

Sorry, Jeff. You're a powerboater.

Yea that happens with French boats.

You say that as though its actually out of sight of your slip.

Sorry Bob, you're a landlubber.


Sorry, Jeff. You're a powerboater.

The problem is you only see one aspect of sailing and judge everybody
and every boat according to that. But boating has many dimensions and
enjoyment comes in many ways.

Your chosen boat boat may be fun to sail for a few hours, and if
that's all you plan to do with it, it had better be a *lot* of fun.
Frankly, if I want to daysail, I can take out one of my dinghies. Or
I can go to one of the clubs where I'm a member. I love to sail 505's
and Solings, I'm just too busy cruising to do it often.

Sorry Bob, I sailed for many years on small boats in sheltered waters.
I've even got some silver from my racing days. I also spent years
instructing in dinghies, and running collegiate regattas. I have
nothing against daysailing and still do it whenever I can.

And for a while a long cruise usually meant 20 miles up the coast for
a weekend. But then I got bit by the cruising bug. There's nothing
like packing up for a few weeks and deciding when you leave the harbor
whether to head North or South. Or having to analyze the weather each
day to pick an anchorage. Or visiting some small island that only a
handful of people will ever get to. If it means I don't have the same
"feel" at the helm as a racing boat, no biggie. If my boat doesn't
heel like a monohull, that's an advantage. I can be 50 miles from the
nearest town and still take a hot shower. My queen size bunk has two
large hatches above, so A/C is never needed. And I have another like
it for guests. I carry enough food for a month, and enough tools and
spares to handle whatever comes. I even have a spare engine!

I can sail a racing boat any time I want. You'll never be able to
wake up at Merchant's Row, or Pulpit Harbor, or Long Point, or
Hadley's, or the Sassafras, or the Wye, or the Alligator River, or the
Little Snake, or Cabbage Key, or any one of several hundred other
places we've been to.

Sorry Bob, you're a landlubber.

Gotta love those cats. Remind the Boob of how much deck space you have.

What use would all that space be for boobie? Sunning after swimming
back from the beach? Doubtful.

It certainly comes in handy when anchoring or setting the chute. But
the real nice thing is that the dog understood immediately that the
mesh tramp was the perfect doggie head. Its a good thing we have a
washdown hose!
