First of all, "Bob" is a bad luck name around here. Might
want to change it.

DEfine "real"

... So you are telling me that nobody does
an hourly visual look to the bilge to see what lurking down there?

I dunno about hourly, that seems excessive. Daily would
probably do it. And noted in the log.

... I
guess that is probably to nast of a job for real saliors.


Why would it be a "nast" job? Is the bilge dirty?
If so, clean it! It's a boat not a stable yard.

Here is a question I will give 10 points to anybody who knows the
correct answe

"Columbus discovered America in __________________."


Columbus didn't discover America. For one thing, it wasn't
named that, for another, Columbus thought he was in China,
for yet another, he "discovered" a small island in the
Caribbean (nobody knows exactly which one), for yet another
the Vikings & the Irish had been to North America long before.

Counting the hours until I can get back to work on the boat
