So he won't hurt the other boats when he side-swipes them?
They were up on the deck....

But at-the-ready, just in case.

of fiberglass ebaring down at you at 6K...

Ya think boob's boat's ever been 6K (under sail)?

ebaring? Like eBay?

Off course, a "well sailed" NS would beat your boat any day.


Yeah, I guess none of the ones we see and pass are "well sailed." In
fact I bet you're the only old fart who can sail one well!!!!
Next to Doug, no one is as full of himself as you, Jeff. Sadly, it's a
glass half empty.



The Nonsuch.



Well that says it all. Like it or not, Jeff, the Nonsuch is regarded
as an "old persons" boat. In fact the two I sold were ownd by guys too
old to keep them and they were both bought by retired guys. The one we
see often is sailed by an old couple and they bought it from a guy
who's now DEAD! Most young folks seek a bit more fun, Jeff.


I do??? In your imagination, perhaps.


Nope. Jeff, you've brought up the value of your boat again and again.
It's really sad. I clearly do it to play with people but I think it's
clear that it REALLY matters to you. That's just sad at your age!


What do you mean? Do you really think I care at all? You can buy
a
Swan or an Oyster or whatever. Of course, you'll still be a
terrified, seasick little boy who's afraid to leave the Sound.


You do realize that the last part of the above post makes it beyond
obvious thay you care deeply. You're a troubled fellow.



I'm really scared. Yup, I am.


You should be.


And sure that with your new boat
you'll finally do that "Sail to Nowhere"


Nah. But we're going to block island in a few weeks. That should be
fun.



Let's just hope your condition stays in remission.


Doesn't appear to be a remission anymore. There is no sign of my
illness in any tests over 3 years. Roughly 5% of patients experience
what I have. As usual I'm the lucky one.



And seriously, when Thomas is 5 it would be the perfect time to
take a
year and do some real cruising

Not a year. But we're going to use a friend's boat to sail the Greek
Islands for 6 weeks. Thomas will be with us for 4 of them.


er that point
he'll be in school and it will be a long time before you can really
get away.


We're happy to be sailing, Jeff. We like our house and land. We like
the woods and we like the LIS. I may even get into some local lake
sailing. Sorry that's so hard on you.



Sure thing Booby. You've had the helm for how many races now?
Zero?
Or is it twice that many?


Probably 4 races, all J24's at the helm. I'd still beat you for sure.
I have no doubt. I can trim a boat to perfection and find the groove
within the groove that don't even know exists. Even my racing buddies
say I have the knack for the tiller and wheel. Sorry that's so hard on
you.



Real??? I just got back from 8 weeks of cruising, having logged
more
time and miles than you have in your life.


Total nonsense. We sail 3-4 times a week in 4-8 hour stretches. We
don't anchor. We SAIL, Jeff. And we do it on a lot of fun boats while
you langiush aboard an ugly floating flaptrap.


Now its clear why Suzy has taken up racing.


Yup. She's got a lot of money now. I'm spending on my audio and
theatre stuff and maybe a nicer sports car soon.


Why not now? Are you waiting for a relative to die?


Thomas is 3 and the larger boat wouldn't fit our plans for now. When
he's 5-6 it's the perfect time, since we plan to buy a place right on
the CT shore at about that time.
Sorry that's so hard on you!

Enjoy your motorsailing!

Your jealously is showing showing again. I make one little comment
that a jib appeared over trimmed, and you end up making an ass of
yourself again in this pathetic display.

At the time I bought the Nonsuch I was also racing Lasers. How much
dinghy racing have you been doing lately, Bob?


I do??? In your imagination, perhaps.


Nope. Jeff, you've brought up the value of your boat again and again.

That's a rather bold lie. I don't recall ever mentioning the price,
though if someone asked I might have answered. Or I might have
commented on the rough market values of various classes of boats. In
general, I don't comment on the price of any specific person's boat.

You, on the other hand, are totally obsessed by your perception of the
value of each person's boat. You imagine because you see the world
like that everyone else must, and so you accuse me of it. Its
cowardly lies like this that totally destroy your credibility on any
topic.


It's really sad. I clearly do it to play with people but I think it's
clear that it REALLY matters to you. That's just sad at your age!

Show me a post where I ever discussed the value of someone's boat.

You might as well just admit you're a cowardly liar.

Care? Not at all. Just perceptive.


And sure that with your new boat
you'll finally do that "Sail to Nowhere"


Nah. But we're going to block island in a few weeks. That should be

An other one of your claims. One of these days, you might even follow
through on one.

But I doubt it.

At the time I bought the Nonsuch I was also racing Lasers. How
much
dinghy racing have you been doing lately, Bob?


This past month I've sailed Rhodes 19 twice, Santana 30/30, J30, J29,
my Beneteau 35s5 and Hunter 280. Thursday I'm out on the J29 again.
Sorry, Jeff, but I'm happy you once sailed Lasers. They're fun!


I don't recall ever


Now that's no surprise!



Its
cowardly lies like this that totally destroy your credibility on any
topic.


Yeah. Notice the group rallying to your defense on this one?



Care? Not at all. Just perceptive.


Nutty shallow people always make comments like that. I'm sure we're
all impressed with your powers of perception, Jeff. Really. We. Are!



An other one of your claims. One of these days, you might even
follow
through on one.


Already been to Block Island, Jeff. Sorry. Also: Port Jeff, Norwalk,
Mystic and so one. Is that a big deal? They're all close. Like I
always maintain, you're one of those sailing clowns who thinks sailing
is about distances. Of course you do because it's the only thing you
can hang your hat on, which you clearly need. How can anyone your age
be so insecure? I'm happy sailing my boat the way I sail it. Why does
that upset you so much?


But I doubt it.


Seems like your evasive happiness is bolstered by the imagined doubts
about others.
You and Doug are two of a kind.
Everyone e-mailed me and said they were VERY impressed that you've
sailed 50 days+. That's REALLY great! Anyone got a dog biscuit for
Jeff? Or maybe some Prozac?
