What are you gonna do with tweezers for a snake bite? And
what about some gauze pad? And you should carry three
bottles of rum, just in case.

I was thinking so you could offer the victim a choice of
brands, but you have a good point. The darn stuff just
evaporates right thru the sides of the bottle. I have the
problem with my Irish whiskey too.

In case a fang remains.

Band Aid's good enough.

You candy-ass New Yawkahs need to learn proper terminology. Rough,
around
here


We New Yorkers don't LIVE WHERE YOU ARE. Get it? That's why it has a
different name; NEW YORK.

Praise the Lord and Hail Mary. There is a God. We have to put up with
Chicagoans. New Yawkahs would be over the top.

Rough means HOT, no air, dead...like Scotty's sex life and Dave's brain
and heart.

Looks rough today as well. Hot, 5-8 knots at best. Probably even worse
later on unless we get clipped by a T-storm.

I'll call my friend in upstate and ask if that's what they call light air in
Manhattan. He'd know, having raced with the NYYC for fifteen years prior to
retiring from his brokerage firm and moving to Lake George.

If he concurs with your contention, you're off the hook. If not, you've got
your foot rather deep in that large mouth of yours.

I'm not surprised that New Yawkahs hate to sail when the

actually
blowing.


Rough in the context meant no wind, Maxi. It's been
rough.

You candy-ass New Yawkahs need to learn proper
terminology. Rough, around
here, means 40 kts. or better with gusts, and steep,
closely-spaced seas of
10' or more.

No air, around here, is Boston Whaler-to-the-beach
weather. It's anything
but "rough."



That is because you are a sailor, Max, and boob**** is a
lubber.

A fabricating lubber at that. No one would have the time to post as much as
he does and still go sailing.

My understanding is that the tunnels and bridges leading away from Manhattan
operate on the diode principle--the New Yawkahs can leave but they aren't
allowed back in.

Makes sense.

We met a few of them in Oriental and New Bern. Most had mellowed out a bit,
but the locals were far more amiable. Once a New Yawkah, always a New
Yawkah.

NC courts have decided that use of the phrase, "But you've

Max,

I don't blame anyone for not sailing in the rain. I never liked it and
had a Pilothouse with inside helm.

What is the sense of sailing in the rain, if you don't have to? Nothing
to see. Nothing to gain by tacking or gybbing. Just changes the angle of
lean.

I'm with Nutsy on that. Sit on the boat at the dock and drink Coffee and
wait for it to clear.

Nutsy,
Rough means No Air?? Cripes, I'd think some one who claims to be a

Thom, don't talk about things you don't understand. I'm a former animal
handler and my father was a HS lecturer on herpetology for 12 years ICW
the NY Zoological Society. I have 1st hand experience with venomous
snakes and bites. Some of the snakes I've handled included Diamond Back
rattler, Spitting Cobra and several rear fanged snakes.

Nutsy,

I asked you; when was the last time you seen a poisonous snake on a
Sailboat on Long Island Sound? I'll even go so far as to say that you
have never seen a poisonous snake,in the wild on Long Island. They don't
exist!

Now! I won't say you've never seen some one down a jigger of Rum for
"Snake Bite". done it myself.

But, I don't think there was ever a poisonous snake to witness it. Even
from you that would be to much of a Lie!

White caps = great sailing. The women need lots of reassurance. I
don't recall a capsize, but one of my students did lose a mast in the
central bay.

You're right. I shouldn't even do that in jest.

One who claims to be a writer would certainly have better grammar and
spelling skills, too. But take heart in the fact that if and when Bubbles
publishes a book, no one will take it seriously after reading his
definitions of "rough" weather and/or the important aspects of choosing a
particular boat to purchase, such as a big-ass swim platform.

What Bubbles calls "rough" we call a drifter.

Thom, imagine if you will that you are in the field and bitten by a
large Eastern Diamond Back rattlesnake. The bite is on the leg. You
have no phone or any manner to call from help. You have been hiking and
any kind of help is 20 miles away in either direction of difficult
terrain. You have food and water.
What do you do?

The question asked was the last time you seen a poisonous Snake on a

You're trying to change the subject. Snake bite aboard ship is a fun
way to have a drink


But I'm NOT the one who has a bogus snake bite kit on board, Thom. Look
back and see who made that claim.
BTW, "sweating it out" is the correct answer. Look it up. It's a valid
technique if you can't get help, less so if you're a smaller person vs.
the venom dosage.
