Default Jeff...the Sailor???


Really? They give marine forecasts? Obviously not very good ones.


Please point to where I mentioned a "marine forecast." I simply refered
to local weather.


For most
people, there is a difference.



yada yada yada. You didn't last very long, did you?

Nope.

You thought you
were going out in 40 knots and you didn't bring any gear or extra
clothes?

I didn't know she had taken her stuff off.

Did you even go out at all?


Sure did, and again tomorrow.


What situation? Your boat goes 3% faster.

Uh, no Jeff. I was refering to my rather unique business situation with
two lofts that is now making me money as of three days ago...and
teaching me a lot about sails...and getting expanding my sail inventory
at no cost.

Meanwhile, you've given up
using the jib so you go 10% slower.

I've used the sails twice....and in gusts to 30 knots we did not pop
the genoa.

In other words, it doesn't do
anything for you except give you "bragging rights."

Huh? The sails were awesome in light air. The main was fantastic in
heavy air. They look great, work great and cost me little.

Its just a lot of plastic.

I'm really sorry you feel that way about her. I hope she gets a better
owner and soon. The PDQ 36 is "someone's" work of art, carefully
designed and built by human beings who were envisioning something
beyond practical endeavors. It's really and truly awful for you to say
"it's just a lot of plastic." Everyone I know loves their boats and are
proud of them...and the choice they made.

She turned down every
offer and said she'd rather have the family sailing together.

Probably she has a deeper appreciation for the vessel than you do and
would never call it "just a lot of plastic." Seriously, Jeff, that's
just an awful thing to say.

Obviously. You like to brag about your possessions. What else do you

have?

I brag about the ones that gets a rise out of the fools of ASA, even
VHF radios....and they take the bait every time! But I'm NOT proud of
my VHF, Jeff....though I do appreciate the science and effort to design
it.


Yes, a lot of work went into
picking the right boat for us, but that's personal satisfaction,
nothing to brag about.

Really, Jeff? You've never bragged about your boats speed, comfort,
value or even it's ventilation???? That must have been another Jeff
with a PDQ 36!
Dude, like I said: Get over yourself.

I have no idea how you really feel about anything.

Actually, Jeff....I think you do, but you also enjoy these little
battles as a diversion, so off we go.

Bragging
about possessions is just a way of covering up your emptiness.

Or just a dumb troll for dumber people to nip at. I am proud of my
boat, Jeff. I'm not proud of my Subaru, Kia or home theatre.
Go relax. Time for bed.
