A sea, like Lake Michigan, can have closely-spaced waves, making the motion aboard a boat less than gentle. Of course some of those seas in Europe may even have such waves as well, but who knows for sure. No one in Europe ever goes sailing outside the rivers and Lake Geneva. Max |

![]() "BTnH" wrote... Hey all; I just set up newsgroups on my computer, and I am happy to find knowledgeable and helpful folks to ask when I have questions. I bought an old 34' Cal last year. My first boat. I managed to not crash or break it during the first summer of use, but it was mostly luck. That's a cool boat. A friend of mine had one back when they were new hot racer-cruisers, we sailed it a lot. Anyway, a suggestion: some threads are long and hard to follow because people leave the original message in the reply. If they turned this off in their options, send section, the reading would be easier. Only if you have the whole thread, and follow it in linear fashion... not so easy on usenet. I quote sections of previous message that I'm replying to, so you can tell what I'm talking about. OTOH to quote several long previous messages and adding "me too" or maybe the ever-popular "what he said" at the bottom is kind of annoying. wrote: You found helpful people in THIS group, no way. I rarely see anything here except personality conflicts. There is rarely anything about sailing here. You must mean rec.boats.cruising. Actually, there's at least as much sailing discussion here as there. But it seems to be going down hill lately. DSK |

Did you know that most American towns are named after European places? I come from a village called "Virginia". Gosh no, I didn't know that. Is there a Plowville near you? -- Scott Vernon Plowville Pa _/)__/)_/)_ |

Yes, but in Europe, you see, all the places & towns are 1000s of years older & much much more civilized, and the town would have been named so long ago that it would be in Latin: Plovius Villus DSK |
