People here have lost touch with sailing
 
I think you people have lost touch with sailing. You talk mostly about everything but
sailing and when you talk about boats you talk about batteries and wires and motors
and all kinds of other things that aren't sailing at all. Is there a news group that
somebody here knows about that's really a sailboat newsgroup? Thanks.

Cheers,
Ellen

Ellen,

All you have done is bitch and whine.

Tell us about your sailing, your boat, your latest adventure and why
you like sailing.

You pitching a bitch is getting old Ellen.

The wide, wild sea, that no man knows!
The wind is chill, the surge is white,
And I must sail that sea to-night. ?

Ellen is a sockpuppet. Not a real person. Let her prove otherwise with
a pic of her boat, and so on.
My bet is she'll have a lame excuse because she's a lame
sockpuppet....again.

On many a mile of iron shore,
The waves are livid in their wrath,
And no man knows the ocean path. "

Sorry if I seem like a bitch. I'm not really but this news group is just so
much like hanging out in a garage.

I have a Tangerine by Renken. It has sails and NO motor. It has no battery and
it has no instruments. It has a compass and that's all it has.

I last sailed three days ago most of the day long. I packed a picnic lunch.
I sailed in and out of the harbor and the winds were light and fickle. I didn't
have to worry about finding and connecting wires. I didn't spend any time checking
the charge of my batteries. I didn't worry about any prop cavitation. I sailed.
I anchored. I went swimming and I scrubbed the bottom. It needs new paint,
the stuff is growing fast on it.

I do most of my sailing during the week because there are way so many people
rushing back and forth in their motor boats on the week-ends. To me they're
just a bother and ruin the experience. I like sailing because it takes me away
from the hustle and bustle. I like getting an all over tan but no gawkers.

Happy?

Cheers,
Ellen

I shouldn't even answer you because you're a disgusting and dishonest person but I'll see if I can
get a photo or two up on Webshots during the next week. That way your record of being a liar can
stay intact. (snicker)
