Rob's better cockpit is like the cockpit in a MG midget. Ragtop, small,
wet, hot, cold, horrid, miserable, and dangerious.

A real cockpit will keep you cool and dry, offer the Capt'n a place to
work in comfort even if you are motorsailing at 9 kts out of the eye of
a wicked storm with a full set of sails.

Joe, that's a good troll, but c'mon!!! Take better pics than that and
we'll all have more fun. If you don't have the pic to support the
troll, then wait a while until you can get one. My best trolls are
supported by reasonable pics.

Pleeeze Bob. I did not take the photo. But you can see it is storming,
my hand is on the throttle, And I'm turning upwind. Clearly running out
of a vicious storm. All in the cool AC comfort of a real cockpit that
even Navy fighter pilots envy.

Oh and BTW we fished all the way thru the storm, Hooked up with a nice
King Mackerel, as you can see in our wake, we outran the storm. No one
was skeered either.

Joe;

Do you think Nutsy could stand a 4 hour storm watch standing on the
transom helm seat?? (G)

Questions for Thom:

1) Why would I stand there instead of sitting in the cockpit?
2) How many 4 hour storm watches will I likely need to complete sailing
in the LIS?

I've done 22 hours on the helm, at the tiller, except for a brief stint solo
on the foredeck to change headsail .... sailing through a storm all
night... blowing 35 to 40..... going upwind.... no engine at all.... narrow
channel... remote location..... no running lights.... 6 of us aboard.

I dropped hook at 0618hrs in Devil's Channel.... drank half a bottle of rum,
scowled at the crew and hit the bunk.... lights out.

That's a sail I remember..... fondly
