I suppose it relieves the tension the feel on a boat so they use it as a security blanket of sorts. I don't even like to listen to the TV... maybe some football or baseball at a friend's place. Atta girl! I used to have a little TV years ago but I got so mad at how much of a waste of space it was that I ended up tossing it overboard in the Gulf Stream one fine day. Haven't missed TV since. The little snippets I get of it in public places such as stores and restaurants reconfirms my observation that TV is the main reason why much of the American public is a bunch of stupid, brainwashed, mindless consumers and hypocrite drones.

I don't know if you've spent any time in or around boats but very ludicrous is when so-called sailors become all insecure in any kind of moderate to heavy winds so what do they do? They start up the diesel and keep it running on 'standby'. Talk about Binky city. LOL! Not really a lot. It's pretty light wind down this way, but I don't think the boats around here go out much. Every time I visit a marina, just about every boat is at the dock. The big ones never seem to leave.. mostly smaller ones who look like they know what they're doing. What you just said applies almost EVERYWHERE. Few things are more pathetic than the pretenders living in the Marinas or keeping their boats there where most of them rot away going unused year after year, just taking up space and making the Marina look like some floating, trailer park trash haven. It is a general truism that the bigger the boat the less it sails. You hit the nail right on the head with that one, JessicaB. Just look at all the thick-as-an-arm, power cords, hoses, dock lines, cable TV hook-ups,fenders, etc. that must be dealt with. Daunting. I can be underway in two minutes just by tying a float to my mooring lines and dropping it into the water. snip I suppose I'm spoiled here in southern Florida. It gets a little chilly from time to time in the winter but most of the year it's shorts, sandals and t-shirt time. Shoes are for the land. I don't allow cigarette smoking aboard nor do I allow shoes worn. Nothing beats bare feet. If one is so clumsy that they stub a toe then I say, "TOUGH." So no bubble busted. Actually any enclosed footwear is bad for the feet. Makes a great environment for smelly bacteria and hungry fungus. I hate to wear closed shoes if I don't have to... I have to at work. a nice outfit because I have deal with the public when I travel around. What kind of work do you do? snip You are so well-grounded. Why can't everybody be a little less selfish and a little more concerned about peace and quiet - especially in an anchorage. Are they so stupid and/or rude that they think their individual noise has greater rights than others peace and quiet. Just who are these people who are so self-centered and arrogant? Not only do they make noise but they pollute the atmosphere doing it. Any boat downwind from a diesel motor running will be forced to breathe dangerous and obnoxious fumes. How rude is THAT? It's got to be the worst smell there is. I almost puked the last time I smelled it. Many people become "seasick" on diesel powered boats not as much from the motion but from those obnoxious diesel fumes. I wish there were stricter emmission standards being enforced for diesel engines. snip I can't stand it when my neighbors run their TVs full blast. How about other people?? Hello?? You won't get much support among this bunch of lubbers who are addicted to their televisions. They are just so used to noise. Instead of doing the sensible thing and turning the noise down, they turn it up more and more to drown out all the other inconsiderate people who are making an infernal racket. It becomes a vicious circle of escalating noise. snip Believe me I have. I get settled into a nice quiet anchorage by mid-afternoon and around sunset here comes the obnoxious twits who come motoring in, anchor directly upwind of me, the only other boat in the anchorage, and about three boat lengths away. Do they think I love company so much that I need a close neighbor? They anchor by committee which is the moron at the helm yelling at the top of his lungs at the poor wife at the bow dealing with the anchor. Then they don't even back down on the anchor. They just drop it with about twenty feet of chain lying right on top of it. Then they jump in the inflatable with the 25 HP outboard, they coax in the barking dog. Then off they roar making a big wake. Then they come back after the dog has shat on somebody's lawn with bags of groceries and cases of beer and then they proceed to play loud music and get drunk and holler and scream until about 2 o'clock in the morning. This is what sailing has come to and most of the imbeciles here in this group actually defend that kind of behavior because they, themselves, regularly engage in it. How do you deal with them? I hate yelling. I had an ex who yelled. Give me a break. I was smarter and he couldn't handle it. Dump time didn't come a day too soon! Sadly, there isn't much one can do other than weighing anchor and moving someplace else far enough away where there aren't any inconsiderate morons within earshot. You can't reason with people who can't even understand they are not wanted in the area and are acting like Neanderthals. They have this attitude that the whole world revolves around them and everybody else can just bugger off. Wilbur Hubbard |

... snip Eprib... right, that's the emergency beacon. I guess in a big storm or you get run over or something. Seems like people should just be a bit more self-reliant. I mean if you're not prepared for what you're going to do, why do it? Just to be stupid??? If I go to a bar in a bad neighborhood, I get what I deserve, so what's so different than going out in a storm in a crappy boat with no skills. EXACTLY!!! But, you know how liberals are - none of them believe in the concept of actions and consequences. If they are beset with problems NEVER do they ascribe a cause to them. They just go along thinking some crap such as, "Why do I get all the bad luck." Some of them are incapable of learning as they never relate a consequence from an action. Duh! Dive in an empty pool and break your neck. A liberal will blame some person for not keeping the pool full. That's why I can't stand a liberal - they cause then entire world to slide into ineptitude. All their problems and stupidity is foisted off on everybody else - even those of us perceptive enough to understand action/consequence. snip I'm fricken sick of the city here. Everything is the momma state. The cops are in good shape... the ones who are riding anyway. He was actually pretty nice, then of course, asked for my number... I don't think so. I was just wearing shorts and a long-sleeve top. I don't usually wear the bikini when riding... too much exposure for the sun. Also, there's the unbent pole danger. lol ROFLOL! True story. There was a Miami cop who got kicked off the force because he would do traffic stops and write a ticket which he then offered to tear up if the offender would give him oral sex. (Both men and women - I guess he was bi.) There ARE cops out there who abuse their power and authority. Big Brother is definitely here. Nanny state, momma state etc. are all real these days. Oh, and don't fear the sun. People need sun so their skin can produce lots of vitamin D which is necessary for just about every bodily function and even mental health. If one avoids the midday sun and enjoys the early morning and late afternoon sun, this skin cancer hyped-up crap is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, women (one out of nine of them these days) need to worry more about breast cancer than skin cancer. Here's a clue. Stop with the underarm anti-perspirants and deodorants. It is my learned opinion that the rise in breast cancer is directly due to this underarm deodarant/anti-perspirant fetish. Imagine the chemicals soaked into the skin day in and day out right near the breasts. No wonder breast cancer is ten times higher today than it was 100 years ago before people started slathering and spraying chemicals under their arms (Yes, even men are at higher risk today for breast cancer). A twice daily wash with soap and water is adequate to deodarize the underarm and will not be a health risk. Besides, if a man is offended by a little natural pheremones from the underarm he's not worth a woman's time anyhow. You're an athlete, or so you said, so you know that fresh underarm sweat doesn't smell bad. It only starts to smell bad hours later if the oils it contains remain and become the home for bacteria. What's with this anti-perspirant crap anyhow that stops a natural and necessary body function. Can that be good for a body? NOT! Wilbur Hubbard |

And by the way my boat has 4 sinks, two heads with two showers and 3 staterooms. I did not have to beg, borrow or steal anything to get it. Joe |

So, tell me something I don't already know. lol Jessica, Joe is one of those lubberly, wannabe-type sailors about whom I refer when saying some are fearful to really sail so they attempt to load up a boat with "all the lubberly contraptions" like washer/dryer combos so they can feel comfortable because they are addicted to the land and the sailing life is anathema to them. Joe's erstwhile boat, "Red Cloud" was prematurely abandoned in a cold front in the Gulf of Mexico and he and his rank amateur crew were airlifted off by the Coast Guard and his boat was abandoned to her own devices and eventually sunk. Joe is a little chicken, IMO. Certainly is no sailor. If his skills were 1/10th as big as his mouth he might amount to something. As it stands now he's a disgrace. Why, the moron doesn't even know the proper sized American flag to fly and he flies it in the wrong place. Nothing screams incompetence like disrespect for one's flag. Bummer that he lost his boat... Did they make him pay for his airlift? Seems like things would be a lot better if people paid for their mistakes... or at least had to make some kind of partial payment. It might cut down on the nonsense. Right you are. People are way to quick to pull the epirb switch because there is no charge for a rescue operation. No charge for the rescued, at least. Just another taxpayer-funded operation. It used to be sailors had pride and would not abandon a boat until they had to step up into the life raft from it. Nowadays people sprain an ankle or get a little seasick and they call the Coast Guard. It's deplorable and unseamanlike. What utter bumph. I personally know two people rescued from a barge that broke lose during a "tropical depression" and another rescued from a oil rig that was in the process of tipping over and they were damned happy to be saved., regardless of whether they had to step up or down. The two on the barge leaped across to the bow of the rescuing tug and the oil rig people jumped overboard and most were retrieved over the stern of a service boat. I can assure you that none of them were endeavoring to measure the relative height of the rescue craft and wait until they had to step "up" snipped Wilbur Hubbard Cheers, Bruce Well, seems like a true accident.. getting run over. ok, but I bet that isn't the case most of the time. But, what do I know... I don't know. I have seen, been involved in, or have had reliable information of problems ranging from a bloke who was motoring blithely along and put the engine in neutral and heard a deluge of water coming in somewhere. Looked in the bilges and his prop shaft had come out. to a mate that hit a rock in the middle of the night. plus various commercial disasters like the barges sinking I mentioned and another bloke who jumped off a tipping oil rig. When the guy with the missing prop shaft told me the story I said, all agape, my GOD what did you do? Expecting a tail of a sunken boat or a beaching. He replied, "stuffed a tee shirt in the hole and sailed home". Another chap (never heard any identification) who was calling, "Mayday, my propeller is missing". Heard a number of people trying to contact him in reply but he never replied. Kept listening to the news but never heard of any missing boat. Maybe he was telling a tall tail. I was in direct path of the Thailand Tsunami wave and weathered that but at the same time was listening to calls stating that everyone must head for deep water as there would be an after shock and apparently people were just going crazy. How anyone expected to get very far off shore in the few minutes that the people were saying the after shock would come? What you gonna do? . Someone answered one of my calls for information stating that there was no reason to bypass Phi Phi harbor and no problem to anchor there. I later discovered that the wave washed directly into the harbor, over that section of the island and there was nothing there any more. I had a mate hit a rock under all sail with a 60 ft. ketch. Middle of the night and they were making a lot more leeway they had thought and no one was watching. Holed the boat and he did say that "it got a bit frantic until we got enough cushions stuffed in the hole". That was yet another example of how idiotic Willie-boy can be. The hole in the boat bloke used his generator to power a 220 VAC sump pump pumping through a 3 or 4 inch hose to keep the boat afloat until he could fother a sail over the damage and stuff the hole with cushions. He was able to sail to an island where he could have beached the boat if things got worse and waited until the next high tide. then careened the boat and fiberglassed a patch over the hole which held until he got where he was going where he could haul the boat and make a permanent repair. So I reckon that every is entitled to get a bit excited when it all turns belly up and is entitled to react in any manner that he feels appropriate and to sit at home and second guess things based on a picture on a TV screen is just a display of ignorance. Cheers, Bruce Sorry, but I didn't understand even 1/2 of this. Maybe one should not go sailing if you can't deal with the issues that come up, short of being run over by a tanker or something? |

I thought you thought I was thinking he was the reasonable one. I did at first . . . I get all confused any time I run into an intelligent woman who actually makes sense. It happens so rarely these days. LOL! Wilbur Hubbard Hey so wait... are you Wil or are you Greg? Totally confused unless you have a spoofer? The header info is different. I hate spoofers. Wilbur = Greg = Capt. Neal. That's common knowledge. I am no "spoofer". Just have a couple different NSP accounts in case one or the other goes on the blink. Wilbur Hubbard Oh... ok. So, you're a Captain? That's cool. So, should I call you Neal or Wil... sort of like Wil, but it's your name. |
