So, what did you experience? Do tell. Certainly, this wasn't on your Mac.


I've been at sea in some rough conditions, and sailed and motored in what
we were told was a 80-90 mph storm. Also sailed offshore on several boats
in a variety of conditions. Also qualified as a crewmember on the 1877
bark Elissa, sailing several years from Galveston, which involved climbing
rope ladders 100 feet up the masts and furling and unfurling sails in some
exciting conditions aloft.

Like I said, "wasn't on your Mac."

I haven't presented any evidence that the moon revolves around the Earth
either. Do I need to support my assertion that it does?


As far as I know, we're discussing characteristics of the Mac 26M, not the
moon. But please correct me if I'm wrong on that Ganz.

Too bad. The moon can sometimes be seen.


You're assuming a situation that likely will not be possible after a
dismasting with someone trying to stay on a boat that is totally
unstable. That's a pretty weak assumption.

From your last statement, it's pretty clear that you don't know much
about boats. A dismasting in and of itself, doesn't cause a sinking.

Did I say that? Don't think so.

Capt, this entire string revolves around slamming the Macs. - Check out
Neal's original post.


My mistake. It *is* about your Mac!

Is it, Ganz? I thought you were also discussing the moon.

At least you got my name right.
