Haggy;

Could be you're exactly correct. That boat sound like it's a trailer
boat that is not being set up properly. That's why I asked for more
information.

What a totally GAY suggestion that was.....

This is your idea of a reply Ganz??? You think that was valuable input? Did
you just write that reply to watch yourself type?

Don't listen to this cream puff Gaynz, Diane.... even little girls yell
derogatory comments at him on a boat! He's a totally useless dipwad with
nothing of value to offer when it comes to sailing or boats.

Good idea. Don't listen to me. Does that make you feel better Mooron?
I hope so, because I wouldn't want to contribute to your obvious
problems.

This group is very serious about sailing. If you have a question, then you
will find that this is the best place to ask it.

However, if you think that "I have a fear of sailing with my husband"
is a question, then you will be dissappointed.


Do you have a question?

Yes it is.
Deadly serious in some cases!

Actually it's one of the better places I know of. Is that a
compliment to the group, or a sad commentary on the rest
of the world?

Of course. You just have to parse the original poster's
words correctly. And "I have a fear of sailing with my
husband" is indeed a question. We just need a little more
information to zero in on a quantitative answer. Is the
primary issue sailing/husband, or fear/husband... or if it's
fear/sailing, then what can the husband do to reclaim his
wife's attention(s)?

You all don't get 'Car Talk' over there, do you?

No, it isn't!! It is a statement of fact.

It says that the lady's husband is untrustworthy.

My wife, who isn't a sailor, trusts me when I tell her what to expect. I
suspect that your wife trusts you to tell the truth.

There are many men who take their wives out sailing in inappropriate
conditions .... and they later regret the fact that their wives won't go
sailing with them.

The primary issue is "husband". If the man was trustworthy, then the wife
would not be worried about going sailing with him.

I don't think so.. If it is a TV programme, then I wouldn't know. I've
given up watching it!

Every statement of fact is also a question, if you look at
it right.

Agreed.

Yes, she does. She reserves the right to test my statements
though

There are also a lot of men who
1- don't know how to sail very well
2- don't take their wives' feelings into account (and this
goes for far more than taking them sailing)

Agreed, but more to the point the man should be either a
good sailor *and* willing to work at getting his wife to
like sailing, *or* have an attitude such that they can enjoy
learning together.

Smart move. But 'Car Talk' is a radio program where people
call in to ask advice about problems with their car, and
often the calls involve spouses. It's hilarious.
