I know words and how they are used.

Then what can you say about me using my writing miscues as a
guide.....? Do you see any patterns?

I'm sorry, but if you included a long list of what "cruising is" in your
harangue of Skip, I missed it. Could you repost it?

Shure..........

We just bought a new boat and we plan to do some cruising, but I sure
wouldn't want to break any of your rules when we do.
So, please list your rules in order of importance.

Going from point A to point B without creating a potential hazard or
harm to self or others.

Spending money and wasting time in port fixing things is not
cruising.
that saying about fixing things in distant ports is a joke you
idiots,,,, its not a way of life..... it like saying, a successfull
marrage is 50 years of hurtful cruelty and lonleness only folowed by
death! Nor is cruising operating a vessel in a way that creates a
hazard to others (as in: no body at watch while underway)


From those posts of Skip's I've read, my take is that he had a somewhat
limited knowledge of boating when he started, that he has been
"cruising" and rebuilding much of his old boat along the way, that he is
a far more experienced "boater/cruiser" than when he started and, unlike
most of the posters here, is out on the seas, "cruising" from one port
to another without a particular schedule.

wordy sentence verging on archaic voce, and, certainly, an over use of
the comma.
I thoght id toss that in in for free since you seem so willing to un
zip ur pants for a short arm inspection.

Now, as I stated, we bought a new boat and we will be taking short trips
on it. So, I take it we won't actually be "cruising," right?

Hell ya yll be crusing...... cause you have an accurate assesment of
your behavior.
Crusing is like culture its not the color of your skin its HOW YOU
THINK.

PS I think I may have ya beat on degrees ;) But then again we could
start a great fight does a degree make ya smart or does it only
offer an opertunity to learn.... kinda like a boat ;)

Time to go drink some free beer and look at some boats.
Maybe I could be like skip and write a 3000 word post on what i did at
the bar, explain how a "tap" works, and then fall off my bar stool
explaing to the world about my beer drinking. NOw that would be a
great read.






Lots of people have me "beat" on degrees. I have two liberal arts
degrees. I was not interested in learning a "trade" while in college.

Unfortunately there is a lot of truth to it. If you are
living/cruising on a boat every day, far from your home base, things
do need maintenance from time to time. Local help is frequently
unavailable, incompetent or dishonest. Parts are frequently
unavailable. Shipping things in from out of country is expensive and
takes much longer than you'd like. Anything you can fix yourself
because you've had the foresight to bring the right tools and repair
parts is all to the good.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
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."

Hmmm, gotta admit, that was pretty funny.


So, Skip is in the Carib somewhere, and you two guys are where?

Oh, is that so? So please tell me, Harry, why the unnecessary comma?


I know words and how they are used. Most people with sailboats, whether
they cruise as you describe it or race or just putter around do it for
"fun."

Why, Harry, did you fail to place a comma where one was needed? Some editor!

It can be a sport, which is one of the definitions for fun.

The fact that boating needs to be taken seriously does not minimize its
"fun" value.


Wrong again, Harry! Taking any pursuit seriously necessarily diminishes its
fun value as serious is the opposite of fun.

My Dearest Esteemed Colleague:

I can not disagree more forcefully. A professional is a person who has
a mastery compency level. She/he has both the highest level of
performance PLUS a true joy of the task. It is the joy of the task
that propels a person to the highest level of performance HOWEVER,
superior skills (like yourself) is the last step before attaining Self
Actualization... its when you’re in the grove: capable plus joy that
pushes a person to the highest level of performance. Those lacking the
total joy a task brings will never achieve that highest level of
performance. It takes both.

Think of it as fuking…. Could you be a fantastic love and not enjoy
the woman/man you banging? Gotta have both other wise your just a dam
good whore. Which is good. They are professionals too!

You fellas are just too full of yourselves. I boat for fun and
relaxation, even while "cruising."
