Default Docking Situation Question #3


"Scotty" wrote in message

the wind's blowing this bigger boat against the dock and
you're going to hoist sail and THEN pull the boat INTO the
wind by hand???



YES! My boat is six tons and I've done it many times! Raise main & genny.
Hand over hand the vessel to the point where the anchor is holding but ready
to be weighed.... now take in sheets..... then weigh anchor as you sail by
the hook point.

Scotty... it works everytime. I sailed for a season without aux. I know what
a sailboat can do without an engine. It's truly amazing. The key is to
preplan your manuevers. Think out the situation and most of all...
understand your boat.

Default Docking Situation Question #3

Mooron, among other things, is a proven liar. He's a very angry person. Just
watch how he reacts to anything someone says that's negative about him.

Uh, how should I say this.... Captain, maybe he's just using gruff language because it makes him feel good to say
it that way. It's fun to read if you don't take it seriously. Maybe he expects people will understand that it's just
theatrics? I don't think he's really stressed out.
Maybe if you'd loosen up a little you wouldn't provoke his ire. You'd maybe not take it personally. What you
say he's doing you've been doing to me all day. Your just not as colorful.

Cheers,
Ellen

Ummm dummy, maybe he's just what I said, and angry guy who can't take
responsibility for his own actions. And, like I said previously, who cares
what you think.

Thank you so much for the insight. But, I think I can figure people out for
myself. I happen to disagree with you on this. I think he's kewl. Maybe you
should take your own advice and start saying something nice about him. You
know, do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.... Your being crabby and
crabby gets you crabby.

Cheers,
Ellen

Clearly not. If you think he's so kewl, then why don't you email him. Maybe
he'll take you in like one of the many chickens he has routing around on his
property.

Default Docking Situation Question #3

Don't forget my pet Turkey!

I thought it was a hawk but when I tried to teach it to attack... it just
jumped off my glove and pecked seeds on the ground. I was crushed.

Jon... you're so-o-o-o-o GAY!
