This used to be a great place for people needing help or people just
sharing their experiences to come. I remember Peggie would offer help
fixing someone's stinky head clog and the whole crew would pitch in
trying to help out without some jerk, like bob, childishly calling
someone else stupid or worse.

It's not just here. I think the whole country has gone crazy like this,
so negative and down on themselves and everyone else they become like
some kind of new animal, totally void of any kind of kindness or
compassion.

The group is destroyed. Usenet groups come in waves like that and has
for the 30+ years I've been on them. But, they used to recover in a few
months as the ****heads moved on to more active playing fields, or,
better yet, were "converted" to act like caring humans again because of
someone else's help or simple kindness.

I'm not sure sailing is anywhere near as safe as it used to be when
everybody in a marina would go crazy looking for someone overdue or
pitch right in to save a sinking yacht whos owner is 300 miles away.
You used to go down the docks and greet every person you meet, usually
taking an hour to get from the parking lot to your electric box because
you'd get sidetracked talking to someone you struck up a friendly
conversation with who offered to crank up his coffee pot or open his
liqour locker as it WAS after lunch and the sun WAS under the yardarm,
after all. Whatever project you were doing got put on hold to help your
neighbor whos anchor winch stopped about halfway up the pile of chain
laid out on the dock and three of you decided to pitch in an overhaul it
for him in trade for some booze and a friendly dinner at some bistro or
other. What happened to all that?

Now you go down the docks and they look at you like you're crazy if you
smile at them and say something nice or compliment them or even offer to
help fix the winch he's been scratching his head over for the last 3
hours by himself. They figure you must "want something" they're not
willing to provide. They seem afraid you're going to want THEM to do
something, in turn, for YOU if they allow you into their private hell
with the broken winch. I'm afraid to bale out their sinking dingy left
tied to the dock between their yacht and the finger pier.

When did they all become such SNOBS?!

People are people, Larry.
Some are good, some bad, some just plain ugly.

I don't think is snobbishness.
More self centered.

Make sure you're around in March/April '11 and name your bistro and your
poison.

You can help me work out what needs fixing and I can supply the alcohol and
food.

Seriously, though, I'm now down to 25 sleeps to retirement and on track for
East Coast USA next year.

Interesting that you mention heading for the east coast.
I've been thinking about the same thing.

Galveston is closer for me, of course, but it's so miserably hot all year long.
So is Florida (been there already).

Chesapeake Bay maybe?

If you get out the West Coast, let me know... happy to host a sail on my
boat. It's been pretty wonderful out here lately. Just give me some notice.

WeI want to slowly wander up with side-trips to places like Dollieville and
Nashville etc etc. And anything/anywhere else that looks pleasant to visit
and spend a few days. Florida is only to buy the boat. We would be pleased
to catch up with you, too, if you're about the place.

Can't squeeze West Coast into our proposed trip after we're off and running
but definitely looking to detour via SF on the way to get it.
Been a 9ers fan for many years and have to step on to Candlestick before it
goes. Most likely we'll be in your area around Feb '11
