You're nutz..you know that eh!?

Sure do! But look at poor Joe spinning on the hook like I never left!
So far he's blowing off about speaking Spanish and boxing in the
service! Joe's a hoot! The poor guy is STILL talking about buying the
right boat and meanwhile I'm enjoying mine and his is STILL dockside!
The right boat would have been the one he'd have sailed until he
bought his "blue water" boat. He's the classic infinit refit story!
And I'll be sailing this weekend while Joe looks for a new compass for
his wheelhouse....can't set off for blue water without that "perfect"
compass, right, Joe????

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!

At least Joe takes the cover off his compass when he sails . . .

Why is that always necessary?

It looks good to the lubbers, Oz. Sort of like spinning that big 6' radar
scanner array when entering a marina on a clear, bright, sunny day.

Max,
There are good reasons to use your compass all the time.
This takes a bit of knowledge and time at sea to understand the
reasoning and whys.

Something dumb weekend warriors and half assed day sailors like
Bubbles will never understand ....until it's to late.

And that's why he bought a racing dinghy....maybe that's the perfect
boat for him? Then why live aboard a cramped cruiser that doesn't
cruise? At least we enjoy our 35s5 and will be having a blast with her
starting next week. Joe is essentially sitting in a slow houseboat
with the romantic notion he's gonna sail off any second, but he never
does. That is the wrong boat for that since there are more comfortable
houseboats he could be living on.

I got it right, Rob. If he moved to a houseboat, he couldn't continue
with his fantasy of pretending to be a sailor who had plans to go
cruising. He needs the prop.

Thats why Suzy moved you out into the sticks.


Actually we moved here for Thomas, but then you don't know how
wonderful life is with kids.



Did not expect a burn, but beats the hell out of frostbite.



Yeah, that skin cancer is great. Learn to use sunscreen.




Unlike you Bubbles I've had about 17 yrs of constant crusing on
boats
worth 100 times what all your property added together cost.


Uh, so? They werem't yours. I've been aboard some fine boats and
yachts and now I own one that's perfect for us. Maybe someday you can
do the same.



I know you think thats the most exotic cool thing on
earth, but thats because you never get more than a few miles from the
dock.


Sorry to say that I don't find cruising long distances exotic. I'd
rather fly. As for sailing, I like a fun comfortable boat with a good
turn of speed and that's what we own. You own a heavy slow tub of a
motorsailor that never leaves the dock.


Hell my wife has a 100 ton ocean operators ticket,
which is about 100 times the sea time you have ever seen bubble boy.



I'm sure we're all very impressed with your time at sea, but wasn't
that your job?



My cheap flaoting hotel is worth more than that cheapo dime a
dozen
boat your wife owns. And will outlast it, and out sail it.


Worth more? I dunno. Finding a buyer for your boat could be tough. As
for sailing performance, stop it already. If you know anything about
boats you know full well my boat outpoints, outruns and outsails your
tub in everything but very heavy weather.



Yeah, you have been restoring that Limey junker for 5 years now.



Nope, this is the second one. I made 11K on the last one. But now that
I have room for more cars I want another. I'm also checking out a
Lotus Elise in a few weeks.



No problem bubbles, I would rather not have you envy anything I
have
thank you very much.


Well, wish granted!


Sure Bubbles what ever, better get out of ASA, Suzy's on her way
home.


She's downstairs in the theatre room playing with Thomas. It's a
beautiful thing.
You should adopt. If you do you will save a life.
Think about it.

Sure Bobbie.
How many 500+ mile trips have you taken on any of your boats?

None.


How's about 200 mile trips?

None. But we did a 100 miles trip up and down the sound over a week.
Suzanne liked it better than I did. I prefer weekend sails and
daysails.

How many trips offshore?

None yet, but we hope to change that next year.


How many weekends ?

A lot. Too many to remember in fact. I like the weekend trips.
Do you have a point?

Unlike people that spend a quarter of a million on a car, I have no
need to try to impress anyone. Everyone knows why insecure guys buy
expensive cars and cigar boats. My Truck is a tool. Very thick steel
unibody, zinc dipped BTW. And very low maintance cost. Hauls anything
I need to haul, and does it with little fuel.

You could have used the " 0 " on your keyboard, guess you were afraid
it would get worn out huh? A Big ZERO.

A lot. Too many to remember in fact. I like the weekend trips.

So you stayed on the hook and away from the dock for the whole
weekend? Without AC? It's a darn shame you can not remember the one,
maybe 2 adventures you had.

Do you have a point?

You could have bought a boat like my dink to do the sailing you do,
and saved Suzy 75K.

After all you and BB could put on your little Capt. Hats and hang out
in the yacht club to impress people just as much as your under used
over priced junker sitting on the hard does.

But since my dink has no BBQ it's not the type of sailboat that meets
your needs.

Bwahahahahahahahahah Capt. Rob ......the big ZERO.

You barely rank a weekend warrior with your rock bashing toys Robert.




And....? Is that some sort of problem for you? I have a great kid to
enjoy. He'll spend his summer sailing, swimming, in our canoe, walking
on his own land and so on. If that makes me a "weekend warrior" I've
got no problem with that. Thomas is a happy kid and so's his old man!

CWM



Run along coward.
Joe



Seems to me that CWM made a brave and honest observation, Joe. You
once claimed you were refitting your boat for major voyaging. If that
had been true and you had ANY recources you'd be gone by now. I think
you'll be posting here all summer and winter again and not go
anywhere.
As for me, I'm using my boat as we intended making weekend trips and
daysails with our son.
So tell up again about your plans. How's the refit going and when will
you finally realize that a boat that doesn't sail at all may be the
wrong boat. You've made a houseboat of the poor thing. But I'd be
happy to see you sail off and stop your posting here. Then we'd all
know that Joe was on his major cruise as planned!

If I have 5 hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend four hours sharpening
the ax.

Why does it bother you so much Rob, that I live aboard, race in
regettas, make offshore trips, and enjoy my career so much that I'm in
no rush to leave anywhere?

I have my own Island, with the best views on the lake, a lovely wife,
and no urgent need to take off. I can sail anytime, year round. You
think I'm missing something here?

As far as boat projects, I'm installing armored glass opening bronze
portholes and removing the Europe style windows fore and aft. Looks
great and greatly improves air circulation below, also provide an
escape thru the aft cabin besides through the wheelhouse.

I'll post some pictures for you when I'm finished. I love tinkering
on boats, glad I do not have a long commute to my boat.

Have you started removing all the spiderwebs from Suzy's boat after
the long, long, cold winter storage yet?

Finally, some truth. Bouncers: Large overwieght somewhat stupid
brutes,
it takes three or four to toss a drunk and perhaps beat senseless on
the
way out. Not much to brag about there, in fact I'd be ashamed.



A good bouncer is not looking to hit anyone or get hit by anyone. We
were paid to stop trouble, usually by quickly removing a troublemaker
and NOT hurting him. If a situation got bad, then we overpowered it
with more coolers. Simple as that. I had very few "fights" working on
the job. You're not paid to fight, hit or hurt people. When forced to
fight I did what was needed to end it fast and do a minimum of damage
to the other guy. Most of the time I was very good at it. The times I
messed up and hurt someone; those are something to learn from so it
doesn't happen again.
Hey, look at that! Yet another topic Marty knows nothing about. But
his comments about bouncers proves he's been mistreated by more than
one.
