He seems pretty reasonable to me. Reasonable? LOL! Girl, you've got a lot to learn . . . 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. Wilbur Hubbard |

You're going to do laundry in your bring-along system? Seems at odds with sailing some how. I've heard of two suggestions... actually, three. 1. A big bucket into which you put water, detergent and the offending items (they're likely to be offending the nose of others after a while, I'm sure). You then 'tread' them for a while, like the French used to with grapes. 2. All that needs washing ends up in the shower stall. Whoever takes a shower 'treads' the clothes as they do so. I am not certain of the efficacy of this method. 3. Small mesh netting (small enough that your smalls don't go through the holes) from which you make a bag, into which you put your laundry. The neting bag is then towed behind the boat for a while. Found this the other day too: URL:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t11WC1lG_Po Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea. |

Drying them in the wind and sun takes less than a half hour. As I previously posted, you demonstrate your ignorance of the Real Cruising lifestyle yet again. the Real Cruiser, i.e., one who actually makes cruises, rather then an aborted "voyage" around the harbour - assuming that the wind isn't blowing too strong and nor to lightly - by necessity requires more then your "minimal clothing". Say a "cruise" from Singapore to Japan and onward through the Aleutians, Alaska and onward, ultimately to Mexico and then through the Canal to the Caribbean, north to Canada and so finally to England and eventually returned to Asia. A Cruise made by a personal friend with his 36 ft. steel hull sloop, over the past few years. So Willie-boy, all your so called Sailorman experience is somewhat lacking in both scope, and distance. Instead, some so-called sailors load their boats up with all sorts of lubberly crap that requires lubberly amount of energy and I'm convinced they do so because they really are AFRAID to sail and live the sailing life so they sail a house, apartment or condo instead. And for what periods have you lived the "sailing life"? Was it last Sunday when you planned the "cruise' around the bay.... and aborted because the wind wasn't blowing the correct velocity for your tastes.... I wonder what you'd do if you made a real voyage and hit a period of little wind when half way from Langkawi to Kochi, say, as another friend did a year ago? I wouldn't mind this sort of stupidity except for the fact that it spreads out from their boats like a giant sewage slick. The noise of generators 24/7 to run all this crap impinges upon the peace, quiet and clean air of anchorages everywhere. And, these fools actually think they are sailors. They think they are cool and they actually brag about their selfish and anti-social activities on Usenet. Again you exhibit your minimal experience in actually cruising, as apposed to reading magazines. In the last 15 years I have rarely anchored in a harbout where there were more then two or three boats and never... let me repeat that NEVER .... anchored anywhere that I could even hear a generator. Ah Willie-boy, perhaps if you would get out into the world you'd discover what a sailing life style is all about as apposed to your overheated imagination. They are disgusting, selfish and ignorant, bothersome losers. Wilbur Hubbard Cheers, Bruce |

I've been accused of that before. You are 100% correct. Some of these lubbers don't know what sailing's all about, even when they've abused (as opposed to used) a sailboat for years. Some, like those who carry shoreside-type washer/driers and run them when sailing (or when anchored) are just plain pathetic. Seems like you couldn't do much if it's running either... just sit there an listen to the noise. Gross. What's the point. When sailing one needs minimal clothing. To wash that clothing, when necessary, all that's needed is a bucket full of salt water, a good detergent that bubbles up in salt water and bleach. Hand scrubbing some shorts and t-shirts takes little time and one hand-rinse with fresh water will rid them of salt residue so they dry properly. Drying them in the wind and sun takes less than a half hour. Well, I guess that depends on the temperature. I'd want layers if things were cold, but in warm weather, just shorts and a t top. Do you make your guests wear shoes? My friend told me he does so nobody breaks toes. I hate wearing shoes if I don't have to. Sorry if that bursts your bubble, but I'm not a high-heels sort of person. I mean I can, but I just don't. Instead, some so-called sailors load their boats up with all sorts of lubberly crap that requires lubberly amount of energy and I'm convinced they do so because they really are AFRAID to sail and live the sailing life so they sail a house, apartment or condo instead.

They think they are cool and they actually brag about their selfish and anti-social activities on Usenet. Yeah, yeah! That's what I was thinking... all that noise. I sure as heck don't want to listen to something running while I'm sipping my daiquiri. They are disgusting, selfish and ignorant, bothersome losers. Sounds like you've had your run-ins with them. It must be nice if you can find a quiet spot. |

It might cut down on the nonsense. Can you believe it... I had this flag on the back of my bike seat and it got torn off by some jerk as I rode by. That happened last summer... right on the beach run. Fortunately, there was a bike cop following behind me (didn't realize he was there for 1/2 mile, but he didn't bust me for speeding - yeah, they have speed limits for bikes on the beach run), so he made him give it back or go to jail. The pole was all bent up, so now it doesn't work. Wilbur Hubbard |
