People are suppose to build to proper standards, which makes sense, but as long as that happens, why hassle someone over some minor bs? I'm not their fricken mother! It's just about money. Sorry. On a rant. To address your point, yeah, seems like there are 15 liberals per sq. ft. around here. Considering your occupation, you must have it hammered into you day in and day out how most people these days suffer from a lack of morals and ethics. Doing a professional/competent job they can be proud of seems to be the last thing on their minds. Cutting corners and producing a low quality product doesn't seem to bother them. It's just another example of the degradation that is liberal thinking. snip 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. I'm not worried... I just burn really easily... very fair skin. I'm not pale during the summer, but I'm don't tan well. Burning is the worst thing for the skin so you're wise to avoid it. 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. I try to use natural products vs. that commercial stuff whenever possible. :-) snip I'm not so concerned with smell/odor as staining the clothes I have to wear. It's a tradeoff I guess. Fortunately, there's very little instance of cancer in my family. Just my uncle (throat), but he smoked like a smoke stack. Is it plain, natural sweat that stains or is it a combination of sweat and deodorants that stain? Smoking IS gross! People who are addicted to smoking are so pathetic. I just want to smack them and yell, "WAKE UP!" Wilbur Hubbard |

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. I even have a USCG Masters license. But, I let it expire last year because the Big Brother bureaucrats decided it was no good without their dumb "TWIC" card. (Transportation Workers ID card). They wanted me to jump through their hoops and get finger printed and photographed again and stand in line at one of their centers for half a day and pay them a hundred bucks more while they processed forms etc. that were nothing but a duplicate of the forms they had me fill out when getting the captain's license. What a joke! Make licensed captains bear the brunt of their terrorist delusions while they ignore open borders. They can shove their big brother crap against law-abiding citizens (while they ignore the real terrorists) right up where the sun don't shine. So, you can call me whatever you like. Whatever floats your boat, Jessica. If I post using Wilbur Hubbard then Wil is just fine. Captain is good to remind my many detractors of my status. Sweetheart would be good, too. LOL!

He once advised someone looking to cruise the Great Lakes to take the Genesee River from the New York State (Erie) Canal to Lake Ontario. There is only one small problem with that route that Jax failed to mention: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HighFallsGenesee.jpg Jax sort of disappeared from view shortly after that bit of navigational wisdom. |

Wilbur Hubbard This from a bloke that brags a photo of himself sitting in a tiny boat petting a pussy? With pretensions of being a political pundit now? Truly the land of the fruits and the nuts. As for being a sailor both Joe and I have at least some reason to call ourselves a "sailor" as we have both sailed somewhere. Willie-the Poo, conversely, has never sailed anywhere and rates himself an expert. Cheers, Bruce |

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. Actually, it's even better than that. His boss and I are sort of lunch buddies going on a couple of years... it's kind of a long story, but the short version is that I was on this commercial inspection project in full "inspector" regalia (hard hat, gloves, steel-toe boots - all of which were required, but I rarely go on these sites any more).. anyway.. he ran over my foot in the dirt lot (no damage, just some bruising) and he's still feels bad about it. I didn't go on workers comp, which meant I didn't have to fill out a report, so you get it. So, we're having lunch and I mention about stickers on vehicles... isn't that against policy? Well, no, it isn't as long as it's tasteful. So, I said, would it be ok if I put a Support our Troops on the bumper... no problem. It's going on tomorrow. 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? Yep.. fired him, some deal I think. Chris Matthews... another intellectual snob IMHO. 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. Ah... 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. Blinky? I've not heard that term... for a Ham radio?? 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. Yeah, I just don't get it. There are so many things to see and do... how about some real life! 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. I didn't even have to say PMS! They just assumed. We do good things most of the time. The commercial people mostly get it. Don't f*ck with me or your life will be a living hell. (Actually, they seem to listen to me more than the residential customers.) The residential ones think they know everything! I had one a couple of weeks ago.. a diy job. The guy hooked up furness fine, but never attached the ducting that goes from the air intake to the unit... a good inch gap - so it was sucking in air from God knows where, so the chief red-flagged it. I found it, so I got "blamed" by the customer. I said, hey, would you like me to look around for some more things? 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. Three... whoa! It must take a lot to bring up the big ones... even just 10 ft. of chain isn't light. |

Wilbur Hubbard AS I previously mentioned, Willie doesn't have a clue and simply makes things up. I do not keep a boat in Bangkok (Willie (the master mariner obviously thinks "Bangkok" is a country), never have. The boat is presently located at Phuket Island, Thailand. Previously it was at Langkawi Island, Kedeh, Malaysia, and before that in the Singapore Straits, where I anchored for three years. I could regress even more but why bother as Willie-the master mariner has never been over here, knows nothing about it, and I might as well be writing Bucuresti, Trieste, or Vladivostok for all he knows.

The "attribute" of an oar is that it reaches the water..... (Oars originated for, and are still used today, as a devise to propel a boat (through the water). Certainly it may have other attributes such as weight, shape of blade, material of which it is made, etc, but fitting inside the boat is not one of them. Your argument is about as logical as saying that the mast should not be longer then the length of the cockpit....because that is where you want to keep it when you aren't using the sails.
