Stick your head outside Mooron
 

It's the frickin' Helly Hansens..... makes it seems like the tropics....
even the chickens weren't ruffled this morning. Shure doesn't feel cold out
there. No frost on the cars.... thermometer here claims +5c outside. It
was -1c at 0600hrs.

Nope... not a flake. None predicted for another month. We're scheduled
for
a warm winter. They expect it to be the warmest in 30 years. It warmed up
already and should be 11c in another hour.

We buy a boat for no practical
reason. Oh, we can defend the sailboat with many
arguments. A person
or
family does need an outlet, a way to relax one's mind, to
bring
friends
and family closer. But there are less expensive ways to
do that than
owning a yacht.

I bought mine to live on... which I did for 9 years.

And that brings us back to beauty. Picture a sailboat
in your mind; a long slender crescent moon topped with an
impossibly
large triangle of cloth, a floating pendulum of grace
designed to
harness the power of the wind. It's quite an amazing
thing really. The
experience, as a boat heels over in that first gust of
wind, sails
powering up, the dramatic effort as tons of hull balances
and slices
through the water, is nothing less than orgasmic.

I hope this isn't an example of the writing skills used in
your book.

Sailing isn't about speed. It isn't about comfort and
sure as hell
isn't about how far you sail.

The hell you say..... what's it about then.. a dock condo
in a mega
city? if it isn't about comfort why do you go on and on
about bunks and
AC and.... well, point proven.

You could spend a lifetime sailing on a
small lake and never need anything more.

Bull****.... unless you're skeered of the big water.


Or you could sail across an
ocean. It's all the same as it all brings you back to
that first magic
moment.

Put down the crack pipe Bob....

The rest, all the rest are only details.
If you want to get there faster, buy a speedboat. If you
don't like
the
heeling, buy a trawler.

How about just buying whatever you like.

The beauty of sailing is in the inefficiency of
it all in a world that forces us to be efficient, the
impractically in
a life that demands practicality.

Say what??!!! The efficency is movement without
ependiture of fuel....
try it sometime on your sailboat. Contary to what you
believe... the
engine does not have to be on for the boat to move.

Trying to force practicality onto a
sailing vessel is like adding a trailer to a Jaguar E
Type, or adding
a
hull and taking away the heeling and beauty of a
sailboat.

That's just a dumb statement. You're envious that Jeff's
Moby-Dock has
more real estate than your Dock-Condo

So...two all the aspiring dreamers out the Stay away
from a boat
like Jeff's. It's an abomination. It's ugly plain and
simple. Want to
be practical? Buy a minivan, but don't tarnish a dream of
sailing with
a boat that looks and sails like one. Buy a sailboat that
fits your
dream, that picture in your mind. It can be a Catalina 30
or a Rhodes
19 or a lavish Sweden 39. The joys of a keelboat are
boundless. There
are SUV's that are faster than a Miata, but no one
seeking a sportscar
would trade that feeling for extra seats....except maybe
Jeff.

"joys of a keelboat"???..... this coming from a fin keeler
is nothing
short of hilarious.

I know , I know... you sat here and crafted this lure for
Jeff. I
apologize.... there was just so little in the way of posts
here that I
decided to reply.

I gotta say I like the farm beside the ocean thing.....
best of both worlds.

I bet Bobsprit phoned in an order to MacDonald's for a
dozen egg MacMuffins.
He'll try and waddle that off with a run on his treadmill
while watching a DVD of the countryside and spraying some
air freshener to simulate the environment. :-)
Cough, cough...gag!

While not homegrown we're doing the best we can with Land
'o Lakes free-range eggs, West Virginia brand thick slice
bacon, a fresh baked-in-the-store flax seed loaf, Damson
plum preserves, and locally made apple butter...

a bit of warm cream in your wiskers.

I go out and collect them from the chook coop. The lady
up the road trades us fresh home baked bread for

does that ever go down nice with homemade butter and
the jams/jellies we made last month.
