Scenic overload
I've realized one of my problems with cruising (or any long vacation)
is I reach "scenic overload" where pretty things become mundane, "just another beautiful vista". My mind can hold only so many of these before I have to go home and recharge my desire for more. Anybody else have this issue? |

The reason being: there are way too many totally ugly and ineptly-sailed boats in sight daily that it wants to make be barf because they are so cluttered and lubberly maintained. Here is one good example of which I speak. http://islandtimepc.com/sitebuilderc...G.w300h410.jpg But, to be fair, Flying Pig does have one quite comely attribute: She's on the right: http://islandtimepc.com/sitebuilderc...Lydia-Skip.jpg I just have to wonder what the world's come to when a desirable woman like that puts herself in such slovenly circumstances? If she would sail with me, I would be happy to teach her what higher standards are all about. Wilbur Hubbard |

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! -- 47 is special |

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. Wilbur Hubbard |

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.

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.

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") -- 47 is special |

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). That's me - healthy and fit. I keep fit racing my time trials bike. My best 10K time is 22m,42sec. Keep riding bicycles as nothing makes a woman's legs and bottom look better. Definitely smart wearing a helmet as motorists have no clue. Tights are good especially if they have the pad for the seat sewed in. A good jersey is important, too. If you fall you need the scrape protection on your shoulders especially. 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?). Wow, you sound just perfect. Where I am there aren't any sharks except for a nurse shark or two and they are timid. Unless you happen to step on one they don't bother you. They are bottom feeders and mostly just lay around on the bottom. 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. :-) 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 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. Wilbur Hubbard |

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

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

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

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. Wilbur Hubbard Real name?

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. 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. 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.

The redrew the plans to include the wide balconies and submitted them saying they were approved by the code dept. I guess they thought codes didn't keep a copy of the originals on file. LOL!

Sometimes I think you are a guy pretending to be a girl because you generally think so much more clearly than a lot of girls but that "wasn't pointed right" pun is something no guy would think of. Only a girl (on the receiving end) would be likely to have heard that. ROFLOL! Well, if someone wants to believe I'm a guy, I guess they can if they want. I do have two older brothers, so I had to measure up all the time growing up. (Not again... another pun... yikes!) Probably you have some Tomboy in you. But, the thing is there are people who like to pretend to be girls when they post so they can get a guy on the Usenet interested in them then they reveal they really are a guy and then accuse anybody who was interested a faggot. This is the type of thing people I beat handily via logical argument and facts as well as years of sailing experience might indulge in to attempt revenge. Yeah, I've heard that... lol. Well, look at what I do. There aren't many of us who work in building departments! People are petty. I try to avoid them if I run across them. It's just not worth it. You might not have the experience but you sure have the insight and common sense. You seem to know more about sailing than Bruce, stuck at the Bangkok dock, does already. I guess, being an inspector, you are really aware of how systems work and how they can malfunction if not properly built. That type of spatial and physical relationship understanding is quite rare in a woman. I think the thing that I'm always reviewing on the job is the relationship between building codes... like electrical and plumbing. We don't see a lot of problems with the commercial people on that level, because they've been in the business a while and know the issues. There are all kinds of levels of inspection for commercial real estate. Could it be that commercial people are more concerned with lawsuits if they do something wrong and their insurance rates could go way up if they have a lawsuit or two against them for negligence or malfeasance? Also, some commercial contracts withhold the final payment(s) until the final inspections are completed. Absolutely true. Also, they've been around and know their stuff. We hardly ever have a problem with a commercial builder. If we do, it's a paperwork problem. I don't recall any actual safety issues, at least not serious ones. There was one where the construction hat had a crack in it. Apparently, some rebar fell on it and the guy never swapped it out. For the residential stuff, it really falls into two areas. The first is when someone is upgrading or building, has ****ed off a neighbor and gets reported. I'd say 5% of the time, they have the permits in place and are doing things right. The other 95% of that group are doing stuff without permits (so they're red-flagged), and about 1/2 of the work is actually to code (for me that's the biggest issue, and I tend to give people a break if they're doing things right or even trying and are willing to listen to reason -- no you can't install a 50-amp breaker for circuit that has 5 outlets -- no you can't have the water heater pressure release dump under the house). If they give me lip, it's really easy to give them the gift of multiple RFs which means inspectors of varying degrees of patience. My friend with whom I do cycling training had an empty lot next door. The contractor submitted plans which were approved by the code dept. But, when they built the house (concrete block and poured concrete) they ignored the setbacks and built a couple of wide balconies on the second story. The balconies extended out to within a couple of feet of the property line which is way past the setback requirement. They got red flagged. So what did they do? The redrew the plans to include the wide balconies and submitted them saying they were approved by the code dept. I guess they thought codes didn't keep a copy of the originals on file. LOL! It looks like they are going to have to tear down the balconies which is going to be a major undertaking. Serves them right. Ouch... bummer for them. But it sounds like they got what they paid for. Sticky buns and coffee - heaven on Earth. Yeah!! I thought you were going to berate me over the cinnabon thing. lol People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Besides athletes need carbs. Excellent! I'm going to use that. snip That's a very cute cut. I had something sort of similar to that about five years ago. Here's one from Christmas 2009... yes, it was posed, some make up, and taken by a photographer. http://stashbox.org/1060139/jb1.jpg An Elizabeth Hurley look-alike. Zoweeee! I'm in love . . . God No! You really think I look like her?? I've never heard that line before. lol I do. It's not a line. When I opened the link Hurley was the first thing I thought of. Maybe it's the eyes. They have a hint of mischief in them. Definitely mischief! (and don't give me any bs about __THAT__ not being a line!) (I wouldn't have put up with Grant's philandering for 2 seconds, and I certainly wouldn't still be his friend!) I don't know who Grant is but perhaps he's her hubby or ex? I don't keep up with celebrity gossip at all. Oh.. he was caught with a hooker in Oakland I think? All the while professing his love to Hurley. snip You can use ground beans from a bag or grind them yourself. I prefer to do my own, but then I have to deal with the grinder... not a huge hassle, but I end up grinding up a bunch of beans, then they sit for a week, so I kinda gave up and just buy the bags of ground.

If I stare at anything on a woman it is usually her rear end. Unless the woman has eyes in the back of her head, I figure I'll never be caught. LOL! |

There are way too many men fixated on large breasts. Most men I know act like total idiots when they see an attractive woman with large breasts. It's like all they see is that part of the female anatomy. I think that's sooooo immature and dumb! Like a baby who has never been weaned. I just can't see it. To me smaller breasts look way better as the entire body looks to be more in proportion. I'm definitely proportional.. horizontally and vertically. :-) Men are fairly simple to figure out. Like they don't think we notice when they're talking to our chest?? Women usually look more proportionally fetching when horizontally positioned. LOL! But, you're right - your proportions appear to be excellent. Seriously, though, I'd rather look into a woman's eyes when talking than at her chest. But, if she has nice pert breasts with erect nipples, then it becomes almost impossible to not sneak a peek or two. Heck, I figure is she isn't proud of her 'assets' she wouldn't be showing them off like that. :-) Just keep in mind that it's generally not a good idea to stare. I read somewhere that men immediately check out the other guy's package when they see another guy. Don't know if that's true. Staring at anybody is kind of anti-social behavior. I remember when I was a kid my mother and father always said to the kids. "Don't stare, it's not polite to state." Nowadays I can't recall the last time I heard a parent say that to their staring children. . . My parents told us that. When I was little I walked up to a guy with only one leg and asked him what happened to it. He said he lost it in the war (Vietnam I guess). He didn't seem to be bothered by the question. I think I was 5 or 6. Then my father told me about how some questions should be thought out and how they might bother people. Then my brother called me a clod. :) I never check out a guy's package. If I discover a guy looking at mine I figure he might be gay. If I stare at anything on a woman it is usually her rear end. Unless the woman has eyes in the back of her head, I figure I'll never be caught. LOL! Out here that would not be uncommon. Whatever. Ah, but we know anyway. lol |

Wilbur........ a more age accurate word choice is "them" or "girls" as in: he was creepy stalky glaring at them. When if actually spent time with younger girls yould have a better sense of how they talk. They also tend to use the phrase; "doin it" for ****ing. Its much more tactful. And dont for get to use the "ish" lavishly along with ample references to "looking sexified." YouTube Kesha or Katy Perry for other references Your problme is your so old now that the all you know is the Valley Girl Talk from the 80s and, OMG that is so 2000 n late! Maybe then youll be less dense-ish Bob OH MY GOD! You are so UPTIGHT. I wonder why.... |
