Still stalking me I see. If you keep up this sort of thing, you're only

and it can do real harm to you over the long term.

Yes, I can see what it has done to you. Good thing I am not seething with
anger
and resentment as you so obviously are.

What did you do that was so bad at Informix that they went out of their
way to
make sure no one else would ever hire you again?

And what happened in that very abrupt marriage?


Commodore Joe Redcloud

Good for you. PLONK

If they went out of business maybe its because YOU are an idiot. Why
didn't you
do a better job and save them? And why did they go to such lengths to make
sure
you would never get hired anywhere else? You must have done something
pretty
bad.

Your short term wife went out of business? What did you do to her? Did she
later
resume business on another street corner? Was her new pimp a queer-boy
too?

JG, if that's you posting all those notes, when do you have time to
sail? Or work? You are apparently into some form of writing or publishing?

You asked about the boat, and when I last sailed her. - I took her out
two weeks ago, and I'm hoping to go out again in the next few days. On
that particular cruise, we had moderate winds, and the sailing was
smooth, steady, and pleasant, though not particularly exciting. As
previously mentioned, though it's not a heavy keel boat, it boat becomes
increasingly stiff the more it heels. We didn't break any speed records,
but we did seem to be keeping up with several other boats. Regarding
improvements, we recently added a new reefing system (two lines let to
the cockpit) that permits taking in or letting out the first reef from
the cockpit. I also enjoy using the autopilot when having lunch,
adjusting the rigging, or just sitting on the bow and watching the boat
cut through the water.

- Again, it's a "practical" boat in that it's fun to sail, has lots of
room, and because it's adapted to be sailed in so many different
conditions and environments. And then when it's time to come back, it
will motor in at over 15 knots. The ability to get back to home port in
only a few minutes is a great convenience, particularly when we are far
out in the bay and/or have an unfavorable wind. - It also gives us more
sailing time, since getting out and back takes less time.

Yes.

Yeah, I haven't had much opportunity to sail in the last couple of months with the holidays, work, and bad weather out here. I'm hopeful that will change next week.

Two line-reefing... were you not able or didn't you want a single line?

You must not get much traffic where you sail if you can hang out for long periods of time. Where we sail, you'd be lucky to have more than 5 minutes.

Maybe I have a "cheap and easy" version. When do you work, JG, with
all your internet activities? I'm assuming you are associated with the
university mentioned in the referenced website?

Actually, I counted over 50 sailboats on the bay that afternoon
(Galveston Bay, near Seabrook, Kemah, Clear Lake, Houston, etc.), not
including various power boats of all sizes. - But the bay is some 10 x 6
miles here, so we can usually find less congested areas to avoid other
traffic if desired. From here we can sail or motor down the ship channel
to Galveston and offshore in the Gulf.

Jim, Scotty owns a Siedlemann, considered by most folks to be among the
worst boats ever built. He's bound to have a problem with people who
own better boats (everyone) and is seriously mentally stunted. He
constantly claims to "like his boat" and I do mean constantly. It's
pathetic.
Enjoy your fine boat...fine because she suits your needs.

Oh and Jim, Your Mac is a nice light air boat like mine. I just wish a
Mercury 50 would clamp to my swimplatform, then I could really sail.

Again...Enjoy your fine boat

Actually, when I had my Cal, I rigged a single-line reefing system, which worked pretty well. I almost did the two-line version, thinking it would be easier to deal with (fewer turns), but went for it. It never jammed, but I usually just reefed prior to leaving the dock, since I knew the conditions would warrant it.

Not sure which university you're talking about... or the "referenced" website. Are you talking about sailnow? I work when I have a few minutes between posting... g Actually, I'm pretty busy today.

50 sailboats... well, it's not empty, but by the SF bay standards it would be. We have all sorts of traffic of course.. everything from kayaks and swimmers to tanker traffic. I don't know if it's accurate, but I heard the average is 20 tankers/freighters per day.
