Default Shame and debasement

Hmmmmm, I wish you'd post a link to *your* website about sailing. I'm not talking
about some lame-o pictures like Capt. Rob used to post either. I'm talking about something
we all can read that talks about sailing. You know, the why's and the wherefores? Stuff
based on actual experience and not a *maybe I'll just follow the crowd and talk about
motor problems* mentality.
Don't have it in ya? I thought as much..... In the meantime forgive me if I enjoy reading
and learning from Capt. Neal. I think I see why he deserted you people. Besides going off
sailing he probably got sick of ingrates.


Cheers,
Ellen

Making a website is not sailing. Why do you judge a person's
sailing skills and knowledge by whether or not they have a
web site filled with bragging & bull****?

Although oddly enough I did author a website for a
one-design class about a decade ago. There is quite a lot of
material there, most of it of more interest to the
one-design racer than other types of sailing though.

Odd thing you should mention that, since there is no
evidence whatever that the Crapton® actually ever sailed. He
bull****ted a lot, in fact he claimed to have visited a
number of ports I know, and when his bluff gets called, he
knows *no* details of the place(s). Same with a number of
the others in this NG. Why do yuo think he is universally
known as the Crapton®?

I think it's fun figuring out what's weeds and what's something to harvest.....

Well, what're you waiting for? Post the link. At least one-design racers probably
don't have motors.

A term of endearment? I find him to be a loveable old codger.

Cheers,
