And now you know the rest of the story. Well said, Capt. Neal.

No chafe and the bow is always pointed into the wind. The savings will | easily fund a proper tender and the privacy of a mooring is much preferred | to the dockside rubber-neckers. | | CM | | Having one's boat on a mooring is the smart thing to do. And, the following list proves it. 1) Roaches, ants, flies, termites and all manner of other bugs is the bane of boats tied in slips. Even rats and mice. Yuck! 2) There's always a lot of stray electricity around docks and this causes all sorts of nasty galvanic action on metal fittings below the water line. 3) Instead of just uncleating one or two mooring lines when getting underway, at a slip one must untie or uncleat six dock lines, an electrical umbilical, etc. It takes much longer to get under way and is often so much hassle that people don't even leave the dock. And, what's with those ugly fenders hanging on the sides of vessels coming out of a dock? 4) Nosey neighbors and rude passersby are always around the docks but not around moorings. Thieves regularly case docked boats. 5) Oily water around docks that fouls the boot stripe and topsides. 6) It's acceptable to have naked or topless women sunning on deck on a mooring while it'll probably get you arrested at a dock. You can smoke pot on a mooring and few, if anyone will know. 7) Dogs and cats ****ing on your boat to mark their territory at the docks. Never happens on a mooring. 8) You don't have to buy insurance to stay on a mooring while you must have insurance in many marinas. 9) One can sail off a mooring while it's difficult or against marina rules to sail out of a slip. 10) A dinghy that's used on a daily basis to and from a mooring will remain in good running order while one lying neglected at a dock usually is very unreliable. (not to mention easy for somebody to damage or steal.) 11) Anything not bolted down will likely eventually be stolen from a slipped vessel. Moored vessels don't seem to attract petty thieves. (it's too easy for them to get shot) 12) Definitely more 'real sailors' in a mooring field. The get-together's are much, much better. People talk about sailing and not lubberly shoreside crap. Women lose their inhibitions and can't seem to keep their clothes on. . . 13) Few things are better than to see your own vessel on her mooring from the dinghy or from the cockpit of a friend's vessel while swilling cold beers or rum drinks and eating grilled meat from the Force 10 Barbeque and the smoke always blows aft. 14) One can "kite fly" a spinnaker from a mooring but not from a dock. 15) If your mooring is in an area with little or no current there is always a breeze blowing down the hatches and through the accommodation which is very pleasant. Rain showers don't blow into the companionway which can usually be left open because the rain also moves aft. 16) Photovoltaic arrays work well on a mooring due to lack of shadows and are more environmentally friendly than plugging into the grid. 17) You can belch and fart as loudly as you wish on a mooring without fear of embarrassment. You can lounge around naked and **** over the side without offending the neighbors. 18) The air is cleaner and fresher on a mooring. 19) The water is cleaner and fresher on a mooring. 20) It's much noisier at the docks. Some fool is always polishing sanding or grinding and cranking up his stereo to rotten music. 21) The night sky is easier to see from a mooring. Too much light pollution at the docks blots out the night sky. 22) Too many boats at the docks with slapping halyards that drive you nuts. 23) No real privacy at the docks. Filthy bathrooms and showers. The water tastes like a plastic hose. 23) 200 to 500 bucks a month for rent- only a fool wastes that kind of money considering all the negatives listed above. 24) Imagine the horror of discovering Bobsprit has the slip next to yours. 25) Even worse, imagine Scotty having the slip on the other side of you. Or Ole Thom. Being surrounded by such ugly boats that never go anywhere would quickly lead me to thoughts of suicide. CN |

Perfect post from Mooron. He can't gain any traction, so he attempts to get
other people to do his dirty work... not going to work Mooron. You have to do it on your own. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Capt.Mooron" wrote in message news:hwKdf.122597$yS6.40272@clgrps12...

My solar panels work fine in the slip, perhaps they don't KNOW they're in one. 22) Too many boats at the docks with slapping halyards that drive you nuts.

It takes much longer to get under way
and is often so much hassle that people don't even leave We're off sailing before most people row halfway to their mooring. And we have cold drinks and fully charged batteries waiting for us. No real privacy at the docks. Filthy bathrooms and showers. The water tastes like a plastic hose. We have a really nice bathroom and shower facility and you need coded keys to use it. Water tastes fine, and it's regulated better than bottled water. And, what's with those ugly fenders hanging on the sides of vessels coming out of a dock? Yeah, see that a lot, funny eh. Fenders in a slip are not a bad idea. Can't hurt might help arena. Imagine the horror of discovering Bobsprit has the slip next to yours. Yup, I'm the boat with the pretty girls playing classical music, but we're usually out sailing. Being surrounded by such ugly boats that never go anywhere would quickly lead me to thoughts of suicide. Can we please send some "ugly boats" to be moored within sight of Neal, please? RB 35s5 NY |
