Failure is defined by not reaching a goal. You failed. I did not. I have met every goal I have set for myself to date. Wilbur Hubbard Given that I have lived for more than half of my life in Asia I wonder where you came up with your misconception that I ever intended to go further. But of course you don't have misconceptions you simply make it up, unfortunately your blathering is simply "ignorance in action'. Wilbur: The proper length for your dinghy oars is short enough to fit inside the boat. Every other waterman in the world: "Oars should be long enough to reach the water". Willie: Publishes direction how to steal from WalMart. The rest of us: "Is this guy so stupid to steal the cheap stuff that Wally World sells for hooch?" Willie declines to go sailing when the wind is below 5 MPH. Later in the say it picks up to 7 mph and he decides to head for shore - the wind is too strong for proper sailing. I could go on but why bother. One guy abandons his boat believing he and his crew are in danger. Willie sits at home and slanders the guy based on a picture on the TV. A real show of the 'sailorboy's' real colors. Does he say I was within 10 miles of you and didn't even bother closing the cabin hatch? Nope, he says he saw it on the TV. Willie the sailorman. Just ask him and he'll tell you where you went wrong and never, never, backs up his assertions with even an iota of experience. Willie the fool is a bit closer to the center of the target. Nope Willie, as a critic of marine activities you are about as qualified as Winnie the Pooh. Willie the Pooh? Cheers, Bruce |

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. Nope. You say "Neal Willie", and crack the whip. Cheers, Bruce |

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? Sounds pretty simple. Can you deal with a tsunami arrives with no warning and kills some 5,000 people in your immediate area? A 60 MPH squall that hits you at night? It is what might be called a feat in simplification to say "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?"

... On Wed, 26 Jan 2011 13:18:55 -0500, "Wilbur Hubbard" wrote: snipped some repeat Tell me about it. If I want to keep my job, I need to keep my mouth shut. I put a small "Support our troops" ribbon-sticker on the car I'm assigned and someone in the office complained to my boss. I asked what the problem was with it, and he told me that "while you have the right to free speech, you can't have the sticker on an official car." Ok, except that he had a "Mystery Spot" sticker on his (it's a place in northern cal that's an optical illusion). No comment from him. Yes, the old, liberal double standard rears it's ugly head. Do as I say - not as I do and all that. . . Try to find a G-Spot sticker (apolitical just like his) for your car and when he tells you to get rid of it be sure to have a photo of his "Mystery Spot" sticker then hit him up with a sexual harassment lawsuit. snippage .. 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. All you get is Olbermann (that God he's off!) or blood and guns nonsense. I can't listen to any of them honestly. Never even saw that Rube. Just heard Rush describing how worthless he is and didn't they just fire his sorry arse? Is Olberman the one who got the tingle right up his leg when listening to Obama? The only place to get somewhat accurate and unbiased information is the radio. A shortwave radio receiver is a necessity so one can listen to radio around the world to get an unslanted view of what's going on. Even Radio Havana has more accurate reporting than the Voice of America or the Corporation for Public Broadcast - a taxpayer supported arm of the Democrat Party. I don't have a shortwave. Don't you have to have a license to use it? Ham? Only if you transmit. You can listen to any frequency without a license thus the recommendation of a receiver and not a transceiver. I hate Ham and SSB radios aboard yachts. This is yet another anomaly that some pretenders must install because they need the Binky to remind them of their preferred way of life - a lubberly abode ashore. snippage 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. Well I guess if you have a boat for entertainment or something, then I guess it's ok to be stuck next to the other guy who's doing the same thing. I even saw a LCD or LED TV on one of them. Seems dumb. Seems like if you want to entertain people, do it in your house or rent a hotel venue. Funny that you mentioned the flat-screened TVs. You'd be surprised at how often a discussion of flat-screened TVs comes up here. It's so ludicrous reading so-called sailors REAL priorities - television. Some of them even have satellite receivers aboard. All the more reason for them to run smelly and noisy generators multiple hours each and every day. Anything but sailing yet they claim to be sailors. snippage What kind of work do you do? I'm part of the building dept. inspector's office. Oh look, that pipe is suppose to be gray not white, and shocker... it's an inch off for the bury depth. Here's a violation for you. Oh, I'm sorry, even though it was done to code, you didn't pull a permit for that portable hot tub, so we have to red-flag it. Some of it I get, but most of it is just for money for the city. Got off early today. I faked a headache. Ha ha. Women sure get a lot of mileage out of the good ole headache. LOL! Boy, yours is a thankless job. Everybody hates a building/construction inspector but you guys are necessary. Otherwise builders would cheat to cut costs and shoddy, substandard and dangerous construction would be the norm. snippage 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. That doesn't seem right. I mean if you were there first... oh well. Seems like a pain to raise the anchor. It must be pretty big even for a smaller boat? It's got to hold all the weight in place, even if there are waves and wind. Maybe two smaller ones are better than one big one? You're correct, it isn't right but that's life. One of the many good things about a functionally-sized sailboat is the smaller and manageable ground tackle. I carry three different anchors at the ready on bow rollers -- 22-pound Danforth Hi-Tensile, 25-pound CQR, and 25-pound Herreschoff yachtsman anchor. Each have about ten feet of stainless steel chain affixed. I usually set two anchors Bahamian style. Being a strong, handsome and virile man, it is nothing for me to weigh a couple of 25-pound anchors and move away from some inconsiderate and noisy jerk's hazard to my health and welfare. I don't particularly like doing it but one must often take matters in one's own hands to better one's circumstances and the inconsiderate people be damned. Wilbur Hubbard |

Maybe I'll invite JessicaB for a little cruise when she needs a break from the California lifestyle hassle. That girl seems to have ten times more potential to be a competent sailor than either you or Joe. She sure has some admirable mental qualities and is no liberal hypocrite like you two.
