That looks like a bigger boat that what you have. Does that make a
difference, as far as comfort goes? I guess it depends on how far you
go. We're finally starting to get some warmer weather out here and
hardly any fog, but it's still pretty cold at night. I have to take
some vacation time in warm weather, including at night!

Does bigger necessarily mean better? Now, I realize that's a loaded question
to ask a woman LOL because I know where a woman's mind is much of the time
(especially prime-of-life, single, adventurous, 47-year-olds) but really!

What is with this bigger is better crap when it comes to a sailboat? Bigger
usually only means a bigger headache, bigger problems, bigger expense,
bigger aggravation, bigger nuisance, smaller cruising opportunities. People
who own big (over thirty-two feet) sailboats spend the majority of their
time working on them, fixing worn and broken parts and systems, etc. Those
of us who don't have eyes bigger than our stomachs are attracted to the
beauty and functionality of 'the right size'.

Most women understand that 'the right size' is better than bigger. And, the
right size used skillfully will bring more enjoyment than some large, poorly
maintained and less than skillfully wielded instrument. Now, while a
27-footer is on the small size for a cruising couple, it can be very
suitable for that compatible couple who don't get on each other's nerves.
Smaller spaces are more conducive to enjoying a secure feeling and a safe
environment. Smaller spaces allow one to enjoy the larger spaces outside by
virtue of reduced maintenance requirements. Shallower draft allows greater
freedom to sail shallow areas where more of that outside space is private.
Who needs the inconsiderate crowds of the 'bigger is better' sycophants?

Me, I'd take a comely, compatible lass (5'4" or so, slim and fit) in a small
boat over some greedy harridan in a huge luxury yacht any time. A high
maintenance large yacht AND a high maintenance, trophy woman is a recipe for
a very unfulfilling life.

Just had another cold front blow through last night. Was 50 degrees outside
this morning. It's warmed up to 67 degrees now with sunny skies. Wind has
come down to 10-15 knots now as opposed to 25-35 knots last night. But, last
night was a great night to snuggle in the v-berth with that somebody special
who could cook a good breakfast in the morning.

Based on my experience with cruising sailboats from 24' to 35', there
isn't all that much difference in the required systems. At each end
of the range, you need one engine, one stove, one depth sounder and
one head. You also need two or three sails and an effective reefing
system. Perhaps I'm biased because my experience with the 35' end
of the range is with charter boats, where the KISS principle seems
well entrenched. The 35' sailboats I've chartered weren't burdened
with electric heads, microwave ovens, televisions, air conditioning,
radars, etc. etc.

I bought a 24' fiberglass cruising boat in 1974, and spent a whole
summer working on it and cruising. I don't think my ratio of work
to cruise would have changed had the boat grown by 8 feet. What happens
with larger boats is that the owners generally have more money to
add gadgets. It's not the size of the boat that is the problem, it's
the depth of the wallet! That wallet would have limited me just as
much had my boat magically grown by 8 feet.

The same thing happens with houses----the bigger the house, the more
space you have to accumulate junk.

You're totally right. Bigger isn't better... well... never mind. lol

When I get to the ripe old age of 47, I'm sure I'll know this. Are you
with someone who's 47? That part was a little confusing.

of us who don't have eyes bigger than our stomachs are attracted to the

Definitely... the right size is important and cozy. I was thinking
that it would really limit where you can go, so I looked up the depths
of the nice places in Florida... they're all really shallow areas.

Who needs the inconsiderate crowds of the 'bigger is better' sycophants?

I have a little apartment. It's maybe 1000 sq. ft. Two bedrooms so I
can have a computer office. It's plenty big. I don't have a lot of
stuff... never saw the need. I mean you just have to keep track of all
the stuff, dust it, clean it. Forget it!

You definitely have to get along with the other person. I know some
people and all they do is bicker. What's the point? Why are they even
together? Sometimes silence really IS golden.

Me, I'd take a comely, compatible lass (5'4" or so, slim and fit) in a small
boat over some greedy harridan in a huge luxury yacht any time. A high
maintenance large yacht AND a high maintenance, trophy woman is a recipe for
a very unfulfilling life.

My minimum requirements for a guy include healthy and fit. I can't
stand those muscle boys either. That's all they do is maintain their
muscles. I do a lot of bicycle riding, but I don't call myself a
cyclists... don't have all the fancy clothing, just some tights and a
helmet (for a crazy drivers).

Just had another cold front blow through last night. Was 50 degrees outside
this morning. It's warmed up to 67 degrees now with sunny skies. Wind has
come down to 10-15 knots now as opposed to 25-35 knots last night. But, last
night was a great night to snuggle in the v-berth with that somebody special
who could cook a good breakfast in the morning.

I like weather 75 to about 90 during the day. Cooling off in the
evening is ok, but I like to take dips in the dark (is that actually
safe down your way?).

Ok, so a dumb question... if there are two people in a V berth, the
people have their heads on the wide part of the V right? Seems like
that would give you room to move around and also keep the other
person's feet warm if necessary. I can have cold feet and wear socks.
:-)

Breakfast... yeah! Does a boat your size have an oven top? I make a
mean omelet. I hope you're not a health nut when it comes to
ingredients. Sometimes sausage is appropriate. (Please no "jokes")

the bottom.

:-)


Most women have cold feet. LOL! The v-berth is great for sleeping but not
so good for sex as there isn't a whole lot of room to spread one's legs.
Thats' why a 5'4" woman is the perfect size for 5'10" man and a 6"4" v-berth
because her feet don't go down far enough to get into the smaller angle at
the point where the man's feet end up.



Breakfast... yeah! Does a boat your size have an oven top? I make a

My little galley has a two-burner stove top but no oven. Mean omlettes are
most excellent for breakfast. When it comes to food, I eat just about
anything. Not the least bit particular. Onions, garlic, green peppers,
cheese in omlettes are all very tastey. I love a good cup of espresso in the
morning with creamer and honey.

fricken drivers. They don't even look! When I was little, I broke my
clavicle from a fall. If you've never done that, I don't recommend it.



Just had another cold front blow through last night. Was 50 degrees

mean omelet. I hope you're not a health nut when it comes to
ingredients. Sometimes sausage is appropriate. (Please no "jokes")

My little galley has a two-burner stove top but no oven. Mean omlettes are
most excellent for breakfast. When it comes to food, I eat just about
anything. Not the least bit particular. Onions, garlic, green peppers,
cheese in omlettes are all very tastey. I love a good cup of espresso in the
morning with creamer and honey.

Stove top... yeah, sorry. Don't know much about boat equipment names.
You can put a frying pan on it right? That'd work. I use minced
garlic.. not the cloves. Makes for a more even taste. Gotta have
coffee. That's a minimum requirement, or you wouldn't want to know me.
I have a Barista I got second hand. Took it apart and cleaned it and
it works fine.

You are so kool, Jessica. Tell me you aren't just some troll.

I'm way better looking. lol Sorry... no, I'm not a troll. Does someone
here do that?

All the time. I wouldn't put it past one of these dweebs to sock up as a
woman just to try to get my goat.

I had assumed you were 47 because of your sig. So what is the 47 referring
to?

It's from a proof that all numbers are equal to it. It's a college
thing.

You ARE young. Just a baby. LOL!

Wonderful attitude. You'd make some sailor an excellent mate.

As long as I don't have to do the heavy lifting, I can do most things
with good instructions. I went sailing on a friend's Catalina 30 last
summer and got to crack up the sail, which was a lot of work, but fun.

Catalina 30 is a nice boat. It shouldn't be hard to raise the mainsail if
the captain has the good sense to have the boat pointing into the wind. If
not it can be a strain.

Agreed 100%. Oftentimes a bunch of constant jabbering is a sign of
insecurity and weakness. Myself, I am the strong silent type.

Hopefully not totally silent.

Hardly. Can't you tell from how I go on and on when posting? ;-)



I don't time myself... just ride to work out the stress. Definitely
padded! Definitely! I usually don't wear much of jersey, due to the
warm temps in the summer. I've had a few scrapes... all due to the
fricken drivers. They don't even look! When I was little, I broke my
clavicle from a fall. If you've never done that, I don't recommend it.

I've been down on the pavement more than once but have been lucky enough not
to break anything. Just bruises and road rash which is bad enough. There are
many inattentive drivers these days and getting to be more and more what
with the morons texting, etc. Here in Florida they run people over, cause
big multi-car wrecks and then they flee the scene. When the police catch up
with them they end up being illegal aliens, fugitives from justice,
suspended licenses for DUI's etc. They'll kill somebody and not even feel
remorse about it. I had some road-raging fool, after I flipped him off for
almost hitting me, stop up ahead of me (right in front of the Sheriff's
substation), jump out of his car and take a swing at me (I ducked). The cops
saw it all so they ran out, grabbed him, slammed him up against the trunk of
a squad car and cuffed him and stuffed him for assault. The moron had to
plead guilty and he paid a hefty fine and had to take anger management
classes. Sometimes there IS justice.

Definitely not perfect... however, I won't go into that aspect of my
personality. lol I probably should have studied more in college, but I
was on an athletic scholarship.

What sport? Female athletes are hot!

I'm not terrified of sharks. I just don't want to be stupid about it.

Smart to never underestimate a shark. They can and do kill people.

Most women have cold feet. LOL! The v-berth is great for sleeping but not
so good for sex as there isn't a whole lot of room to spread one's legs.
Thats' why a 5'4" woman is the perfect size for 5'10" man and a 6"4"
v-berth
because her feet don't go down far enough to get into the smaller angle at
the point where the man's feet end up.


Well, I'm not going to comment about room for sex.

:-(

Like I said, I'm not perfect... at least according to your
requirements. I'm 5'5". BUMMER!

I won't quibble about an inch or so if you don't either? LOL!


Stove top... yeah, sorry. Don't know much about boat equipment names.

garlic.. not the cloves. Makes for a more even taste. Gotta have
coffee. That's a minimum requirement, or you wouldn't want to know me.
I have a Barista I got second hand. Took it apart and cleaned it and
it works fine.

A nice stainless steel frying pan is my main cooking pan. I even cook
spaghetti in it. The frying pan definitely fits on the stove.

Don't know what a Barista is other than some d00d behind the counter in a
Starbucks. I use one of these things - the Venus model.

Only makes one mug at a time but it's delicious.

It's a nom de plume.

I think it was in the wind, but it was definitely hard to do. Those
little plastic cards that attach the main to the mast kept sticking.
It wasn't slapping around that much, so I don't know what to think. It
was a workout and finally someone had to finish the last few inches.

I ran track. Mostly sprints and relay.

This is what I have only mine is green. I had to take it apart and fix
the pump. It was clogged and wouldn't really do much.
