However, you raise a useful point WRT the presumption that most of it was aimed at my logs. If they're not of general interest, it will save me a step not to bother putting them up here...

Further, your posts have convinced me that the cruising life is not something I'd enjoy. I like boating, but not the endless maintenance what you do seems to entail. I like your attitude,too.

His main problem is his boat's too big and complicated and he's got it loaded with every conceivable, lubberly, unnecessary and breakdown prone "convenience" which always turns out to be quite inconvenient when it breaks down and he has to repair or replace it. Hence, he's become a systems slave. So, don't get the wrong idea. Cruising should be simple and relatively trouble free. A real cruiser spends the majority of his time sitting in the cockpit observing and tweaking his sails while scanning the horizon. Next is food and beverage consumption. Following that is sleep. Maintenance constitutes perhaps 2% of his time. And, a real cruiser leaves the distaff side home where she belongs. Women on sailboats require too much pampering and they take up too much space and they consume way excessively such scarce resources such as fresh water. Not only that, but they bring bad luck.

Women are nest builders. Every real man knows that. A sailboat is the very poorest of nests and no woman will be really happy and fulfilled cruising long-term in such an insecure and transient contraption. Buy the woman a nice home ashore and visit her from time to time as a break from cruising and both man and woman will be the happier for it. Wilbur Hubbard |

Boob's day in paradise
Women are nest builders. Wilbur Hubbard Dear wilbur. i agree at times however here you are wrong making a blanket statment. I met two women while attend my Lifeboatman course a year and a half ago. I belive I was criticized for doing so by someone here. They were employed on one of the tall ships working the west coast, worked aloft, and had a shake that felt between a riggers screw and a carpenters block. extreamly agil, knowldgable and sea worthy women. then there was the woman giving sailing lesson at the bottom of lake union in Seattle, WA. again another tall ship sailor only she was a 500 ton mate. we had a great conversatoin on worm-parcil-serving splices. again I would sail with any of those seaman on any oceans. So you see. Not all woman are fat frumpy cows. Many are extreamly capable sailors. You just have to know where to look. Bob |

... It is called "rationalization", in other words if you are unable to get one you say "I don't want one". Sour grapes, in other words... I happen to be handsome, rich and desirable. But, women, with a rare exception,(believe me) are totally put off by the thought of living aboard a small sailboat for extended periods of time. I can get all the attractive women I want. But who needs an attractive woman who will, 99% of the time, hate cruising. Them's the facts, boys. . . Wilbur Hubbard |
