anews.com... On a golf course certain rules apply. If one is guilty of infracting the rules, one can be ejected. Generally speaking, golfers know the rules and they abide by the rules. For one thing, they think it's sportsmanlike to be considerate to their fellow golfer, the course and the staff. Golfers are civil and courteous to their fellow sportsman. Politeness and silence is the rule rather than the exception. Any rude, noisy and discourteous golfer would be ostracized and rightly so. Wilbur Hubbard LOL! ROTFLMAO!! So, what does this say about your postings here???

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." |

Wilbur Hubbard LOL! ROTFLMAO!! So, what does this say about your postings here??? My postings are on-topic, to the point and realistic. They examine things like noisy, discourteous sailors who do many of the things you say you do, including running the portable Honda generator on deck when anchored in a crowded anchorage. Did you delete the paragraph about rude, inconsiderate and noisy sailors because you felt a twinge of guilt? Wilbur Hubbard |

Did you delete the paragraph about rude, inconsiderate and noisy sailors because you felt a twinge of guilt? Wilbur Hubbard :{)) Obviously you don't read my postings very closely. A: I don't DO crowded anchorages, unless it's the only game in town, such as Block Island on Labor Day, or Georgetown, in the season. B: I very rarely run the Honda, having an abundance of green power. C: In such crowded places as found in A, my Honda is lost among nearly every other cruiser's accompaniment, should I run it (see B). In my normal anchorages, there's nobody within earshot, and very frequently (our preference) not even in sight. I even turn off our cockpit speakers when we're watching a movie, out of consideration for those around me if I'm in a crowd. In the case instant, you couldn't hear it for the wind, anyway, regardless of its being on, very briefly. Nice try. L8R Skip, about to watch yet another movie. -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery!
