It's so much fun to see you folks **** and moan, sputter and spit in
total frustration. Scotty is mad because he's trapped in floating junk.
Loco looks at his boat and now will always be reminded that I own
better. Who can guess what poor Doug thinks when he looks at his
TRAWLER?!
But the true beauty of this little group is in your feverish attempts
to tear at me, it's inevitable that you fall on your faces. Witness the
latest:

Jeff wrote: "I confess I never accurately measured our performance in 8
knots - if
we're doing under 5 knots we're likely to fire up the engine. "

Can you imagine if I posted such a thing? Of course you're all to
cowardly to take Jeff to task after he says such a thing. Even Neal
will let such a thing slide because it seems that even together you're
no match for me...here or in "real life."
And so you might question the validity of my claimed victories. Each is
well founded in exposing you all as the frauds you are. While we all
sail within the given limits of our realities, most of you act as
though Slocum himself might learn from you. The truth is that NONE of
you know boats or sailing better than me and I've only been doing it
locally for 11 years. You should be ashamed of yourselves and the boats
you barely use.

Again, Jeff wrote..."I confess I never accurately measured our
performance in 8 knots - if
we're doing under 5 knots we're likely to fire up the engine. "

Would anyone EVER take Jeff seriously again? Sure, if it meant shooting
a barb at me! In the end you really know nothing about me. I've given
you nothing. But I've drawn you out and one by one exposed who you
really a

Doug: A powerboater
Scotty: Frustrated and angry that his hard work produced so
little...Willy Lohman indeed.
Loco: Perhaps more cheap and unimaginative that he is without means.
Jeff: Weighed down by his family, powering his cat 30% of the time or
more.
John: A Catalina 28, John? I can't even begin to address this here.

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.
