And that, even if it were true, relieves him of responsibility, how?

I didn't say it relieved him of responsibility.... that's the weight of his
position. I merely stated he was not at the helm... he was officially "Off
Watch".

You're statement on the other hand could be construed as placing him drunk
at the helm.... which wasn't the case.

Mooron...The new "guy" is calling the Exxon Valdez a " boat".

You are wasting your time. He hasen't a clue.

CM;

I believe it was the 3rd Mate taking her out. You're right though; he
was Sober.

Your lack of seamanship is showing. You seem to have no knowledge of
the Traditional "Rum Ration" supplied the sailors on Sailing Ships for
years. Better men than you & I have been drinking and sailing for many,
many years. A sign of good seamanship!

Ol Thom

Now, Thom, I'm aware of the ongoing history for sailing and drinking.
But I won't even jokingly advocate such an idiotic practice. A boat
should be handled sober at all times, no different than a car in that
respect. If you're caught in NY drinking and operating a boat you lose
the boat.

RB can only associate liquor with excess. Real manly men can and do
hold
their liquor. Mooron holds it with both hands.


In many hundreds of tests, it has been found that even a single beer
impairs reaction time for ANYONE.
Since I'm one of the few people here actually earning money with
sailing, I could claim I deserve a drink now and again. But I don't
need to drink. Like smoking it's for the weak willed.

The seabreeze after dark was perfect, the moon was bright, the sky was
crystal clear, saw a few shooting stars.


Amazingly Joe's sailing story suddenly appeared right after he read
that we'd been out for a sail. Prior to that he'd said the following:

""Just getting out on the water is not a deep desire. "

Good lord! He's been autotrounced! But let's not forget he's proud to
be a motorsailor!

Joe,

"Guy Aerts"

Look at the header. I do think that you & CM are communicating with a
litter mate of "Mys Terry"

Ol Thom

Right on Thom. As my great, great , great Granddaddy used
to say.

Wise choice.

Nutsy,

Drinking is NOT being drunk. Bob there is a moderate, middle road that
you've never discovered. It can be very comfortable. It beat the Hell
out of either edge. Try it
