I guess you didn't notice the "Twice around the world - by husband and wife" part? On the deck of a freighter perhaps. . . Or, more likely they were talking about their sexual adventures. Wilbur Hubbard Heh... The voice of experience? LOL! Wilbur Hubbard |

... snip This from a bloke that brags a photo of himself sitting in a tiny boat petting a pussy? A kitty cat is a proper addition to a sailing yacht as they will eliminate any mouse or rat that might come aboard from who knows where. With pretensions of being a political pundit now? Truly the land of the fruits and the nuts. I have always represented a voice of conservative reason. 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. Wrong! Both of you are demonstrable failures. Only in your liberal minds, where trying is more important than succeeding, can you fool yourselves into believing that, since you tried, then your failures are secondary. Talk about a warped way of thinking. In the real world, trying is something everybody must do. Trying is not the goal but only represents the first step towards the goal. If one falls down after the first step one should not pat himself on the back and say, "Oh well, that didn't go so well but I'm successful at walking because I tried." WRONG! If one falls down after the first step, one should say, "Well, I'm sure a failure at that. But, I can learn from failing so what have I learned so the next step I take doesn't result in failure all over again?" You and Joe, being liberal drones, don't think this way. You equate trying with success. You have set the bar way too low and will always remain failures because of your liberal thinking that try = success. You are incapable of learning from failure because you don't and won't man up to your failures. Such an untenable belief system. I just couldn't live like that. Wilbur Hubbard |

What I do know is that the Captain seems to have some clear thoughts and explanations, whereas you seemed to go on a bit and was confusing. As to the political stuff... I live in the People's Republic of Santa Monica. It's pretty out of control... former home to Tom (I'm a radical) Hayden and Jane Fonda. Don't tell me about the momma may I state. I live it every day! Atta girl! |

G I was going to comment on the Contessa myself, but I thought it might detract from my point. I've looked at a lot of boats (on-line) and I haven't found many with a stability curve that comes close to the Contessa. I'd love one, there's one in a slip just a long from me and she's in lovely condition, I admire it every time I pass. My wife wants a Rustler 36, we don't have the budget for either, but you'd get several Contessa's for the price of one Rustler :-( Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea. |

... snip Yeah, on some level I long for more of the commercial inspection. Some of those rough and tough construction guys really know their stuff. It's mostly them keeping the paperwork straight that's the biggest problem. I'm not an engineer, so it's someone else's ultimate responsibility to make sure the building doesn't fall down. Way too much red tape to be sure and it shouldn't be up to the construction worker to have to deal with that crap. Let the foremen and the office staff handle it. But, even so, with with govt-run workers comp, every time a worker gets some sort of injury that needs medical attention it's off to a drug testing facility for the poor chap. Are the bosses held to the same standards? Hell no, they aren't. Freaking hypocrites. snip Is it plain, natural sweat that stains or is it a combination of sweat and deodorants that stain? If it's a simple fabric like cotton (and you wash your clothes regularly), then it won't stain from a little sweat... it just doesn't look very pleasant. I mean if it's really hot out, well, that's life... everyone is sweating, but I don't want to go around with dark rings around the underarms of my dress or shirt! Considering the work you do, you shouldn't worry about a little honest sweat when you're out in the hot sun. If you go from a hot, dirty work place back to the office, you should be given the opportunity to shower and change clothes when you get back to the office setting. Smoking IS gross! People who are addicted to smoking are so pathetic. I just want to smack them and yell, "WAKE UP!" It's this me, me, me crap I think. They look so "cool" when actually they look like morons. How can you not think it's going to hurt you to breathe in all that crap (I mean LA air) and on top of that breathe in all cig smoke. Blech.. LOL! Morons, indeed. Do you remember the ad campaign where they had various animals smoking cigarettes and how stupid the animals looked doing it. Smokers don't realize it but they look even MORE stupid considering they claim to be more intelligent than dumb animals. I hope you don't stay too long where you must breathe dirty air 24/7. It will shorten your life for sure. I hope to live a long time because the air I'm breathing is pretty darned clean. That's one of the reasons I object so much to filthy diesel exhaust and the jerks who are addicted to diesels. I value very highly my health and the clean air I have set myself up to breath. When some jerk comes along and cause me to breath their pollution I become highly offended by their oafishness. You might be able to find an inspectors job here in the Florida Keys with the water company. They have several inspectors and have job openings from time to time. Perhaps you should put in an application if and when you get really sick of California. http://www.fkaa.com/ Wilbur Hubbard |

Bruce,
I think you are right about him/her. His/her mental masturbations are sort of interesting - for a while. But it quickly becomes tiresome. |

wrote: "Bruce" wrote in message .. . snip Ever wonder what the Kayak boys do with their paddles that are about 7 ft. long, and them with a cockpit that is an 18 inch hole in the top of the boat. Gosh, but you're sure not ashamed to display your stupidity. Wake up! We are talking about dinghies as in yacht tenders. Kayak's have nothing to do with the discussion other than make you appear even more uninformed than usual. Wilbur Hubbard Changed your tune a bit. Now it is ONLY oars in rubber dinks? A sudden change isn't it. Before it was "OARS" But my argument remains. If you are talking about "oars" as apposed to "paddles" then the determining factor is still that (assuming that you intend to row with them) is that they reach the water. A flat ended stick that is too short to use with the supplied locks is simply some form of paddle; or just a piece of junk. I suppose the confusion, on your part, is that you have never really rowed a boat for any period of time and "oars" are simply just another impediment to be stored in the dink while you motor around the anchorage with your new outboard. And you a sailorman too. .. Cheers, Bruce |
