Default Do REAL sailors make Wi-Fi a primary concern?

Skippy seems to make Wi-Fi his main concern when visiting ports of call.

To me this seems rather pitiful.


To those of us with friends, family and business interests, being able
to keep in touch with the world has its advantages.

For you, perhaps not so much.

Has its advantages to the family, business interests and your perceived
audience.

Is detrimental to voyaging and the voyaging lifestyle because it involves
compromise. But, then again, yours is a motorboat. You will never qualify as
a voyager/cruiser. Your umbilical cord is much shorter than Skippy's.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to compare voyaging/cruising logs with you
anytime. We'll be cruising the Keys in January.

Please consider doing your motoring somewhere else. I don't like the thought
of our clean, maritime air polluted with diesel fumes and our gin-clear
waters fouled with oily bilge water indiscriminately pumped from itinerant
trawlers.

Let's see now,

Skip is off cruising and Wilbur ain't.

Now WHO is the real cruiser?

Wilbur of course.... Who else tells what failures we are thus, by
inference, proving his claims to fame, not to mention the size of his
penis.

Different translation :

"My gaspipe boom fell on my 1956 15 horse Johnson and now I can't get it
started".



Or "Damn but I wish I had a real boat!"

As near as I can remember, Johnson made an eighteen that year, not a
fifteen.
