Take a look at the physique of some cross-Channel swimmers before you make
dumbass statements like that.


OMG... are you saying Bobsprit has the physique of a Cross Channel Swimmer??
Next you'll be telling me you have the physique of a Triathlete!!

In any event, you're doing the same thing Bobsprit does... insult other
people for no real reason, while bragging.


....and of course when you do it ... it's merely your assumptions supported
by your opinion... based on your your conjecture. Don't be such a Big Baby
Doug! Suck It Up and act like a man. You're getting all weepy on me like
Ganz and Billy


I'm not cynical, I'm a realist.


Oh Sheesh here we go.... argue with my hand about the glass half empty or
half full... I'm not wasting time with you when it's obvious another round
is called for.

Now you're really getting in the groove, bobsilverspit! Good work.


Special on Crying Towels... Aisle 4!! Bwahahahahahaaa

Hello? Hello?? Is anybody home there?

Why not read what I said instead of trying to make up things?

Are you arguing with your hand again? WTF is wrong with you?
Wait a minute, WTF is wrong with me wasting my time like this.

Today we went out in fairly light cool breezes with just the main.
We're trying to get Thomas used to the boat and so far it's going
great. He seems to really enjoy himself on deck, though we must watch
his exposure to the sun. His balance is really amazing...perhaps this
is something toddlers can do well, but my best friend's two year old
has a hard time on deck compared to Thomas. Thomas also automatically
seems to understand the one hand for the boat-one hand for yourself
system as he makes his way around. It's great fun to watch!
But today he put up the biggest fuss of all time when we put his
lifejacket on and he kept taking it off. It finally got to the point
where we just put a Stearns belt on him, but that's not the right PFD
for a toddler. He also wears a harness so he can't fall off the boat.
We all wore vests and that was working up until today. He really has
fun on the boat...but hates the PFD, though it fits him properly.
Suzanne thought it might just be too warm and he's aware of such things
now.
We obviously need to get this working right before we take weekend
trips with him.

Ideas from the "sailing with kids" camp are welcome!


Being a father is not easy.

If you feel that the little fat one has to wear a lifejacket , then you must
make sure that he wears one.

He will squeal and scream, but he will learn to accept the lifejacket soon
enough.

The golden rule is that you must be consistent.

BTW My 18y/o son is now in the Oxford University sailing team. Poor Ozzie
boasts about his car .....

I agree. And, Donal is quite consistent. He was wearing one when I met him a
couple of weeks ago, and we were no where near a large body of water.
