Skip, you might want to consider ignoring Bob.

He just baits you and you chomp at the bait.

There is no need to justify yourself, your boat, your actions or your
way of life.

Just my two cents.

Hello Wally,

I may not be the bet typist or speller. But please do not toss the
baby out with the bath water. I do bring light to an important
conversation here.

Moving or living on water is many things to many people. Some chose to
day sail on warm lakes while others sail a stout 39' Freya to the
northern passage single handed (see Spindler's Lat 38). I support each
of the former. Ive also seen a 22' travel trailer set on plywood and
oil drums with an outboard and state registration. I also suppot that
persons creative way to find a cheep life on the water. Ive enjoyed
the company and conversation of all types of mariners. HOwever, I will
not tollerate those who claim to be one thing yet are obviously
another. Some call those phony posers.

I respect honesty.

When I read a person claiming to be a "blue water cruiser" yet I read
of the actions of a buffoon I belive it is my responsibility to call
attention to the absurdity. I do not want a person considering blue
water sailing, visit RBC for guidance, and get the impression logs of
the yacht Flying Pig is something follow as a model.
