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!

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.

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)

Why the compass? Do you sail out of the sight og land?

Most women like gawkers..Are you shy? Guess the totalnude sailing
picture is out of the question.

No your a puppet. Who else would wanna be Ellen besides Ellen??

A voice that will not be denied.

As you wish but I am Ellen. Check your phone book. MacArthur is a common name. Ellen is pretty common too.
I guess I could say you ain't Joe just as easy. What's your last name, Joe? Is it Schmoe? :-)

Ellen,

I'd like to remind you that is a discussion group of Sailors talking to
Sailors. That is what it is meant to be. We do have a lot of people that
aren't sailors, probably more than we should and we have another group
of "Flunker" that would like to destroy the group, Ellen we tolerate
all, as if we were in a public bar. Sailors talking to sailor. We let
the outsider into our conservation; if they don't try to change us. If
they do we just ignore them or we have been know to make fun of them.

Ellen, I don't know how you expect us to act but we are what we are!
Take us or leaves us. Either way, it's no skin off our asses!

We aren't here for YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. If you can contribute do so if
you CAN'T then SHUT THE HELL UP!

Lloyd, Ol Thom is the man of the BIG war. The Golden age, America's
best.

Good Lord Lloyd........Ol Thom walked the same deck as William
Frederick Bull Halsey, Jr., Admiral, United States Navy.

Stand at attention when you address Ol Thom....you slacker.

Well, it's usenet. No moderator and no barrier to anybody
wandering in off the street. Which is why we have the
resident homeless crazies yelling obscenities & talking to
themselves.

No the one that talks about the rest of the patrons tolerating the
loudmouth braggart that also has a part time job as the bar's janitor.

By the way, very nice boat, hope it serves you well.

Thanks Frank. We went on a "full moon" sail last night. It was great.

And apparently one with some gender issues, as (s)he previously posted as
Ralph Waldo Emerson as well as Silver Girl. And probably under other nyms

messages I've long since deleted.

Who knows? Maybe they were a soul mates, that somehow didn't get lost at
sea on some beautiful beach in the Caribbean...or Punch and Judy.
