Wilbur, Wilbur...

Jessica must have made you go soft. The below is nothing as compared to
some of your earlier works. Wilbur, I thought I knew ye...

It's so insipid I can't even give you the usual satire points, let alone
riposte your egregious mistakes in your encyclopedic knowledge of us and
our fine home.. Who are you, and what have you done with Wilbur???

L8R

Skip, disappointed in your failure to deliver on your earlier promise :{))

PS I apologize, but as of tomorrow morning I'll be in work mode, so I may
not visit very often, computer time being reserved for after-hours only...


LOL, consider this fact: Anybody who can render Skippy speechless is doing
something right!

When Skippy has no valid response for the many valid points I made
concerning sail handling, it just might indicate Skippy has no defense for
the INVALID points he has proffered as stand operating procedure.

As for work mode, YES! Start by compiling a long list of lubberly items you
carry aboard - items which do little more than require your constant
attention because of maintenance issues which keep you from learning the
basics such as navigation and sail handling.

After you have completed the list, give serious consideration to lightening
the "Flying Pig" by several thousand pounds by removing said items and
gracing a nearby dumpster with them.

Simplify, simplify, simplify. And, while you are working hard you can send
Lydia down to the Keys where I shall be happy to give her a few sailing
lessons so she can teach you how it SHOULD be done on a lightened,
simplified and faster "Flying Pig." I'll even be pleased to give her an
informal class on plotting a course that takes advantage of wind and current
instead of a course that actually has the wind and current working against
the hapless occupants of aforementioned cruising yacht.

You should concentrate on picking a new hull color for that dilapidated
scow of yours.

Promises, promises.

The last time we spoke of being in your area, you disavowed any promises of
sailing, with or without either of us, limiting it to a friendly beer.

Get your stories straight :{))

As to the project list, just as was the time in SSI, my projects, having
kept up with my chores aboard, are short (other than the bottom job, which
will be pretty labor intensive, as I'm going to make it naked before I put
on whatever critter-killer I decide on). Her chores, which, once started,
seem to expand exponentially, have already involved me about half the time,
so I'm sure I'll be doing half her work while I finish (or have finished,
already) mine.

THEN, we'll both come down and sail with you, as I've gotten the first major
chore, that of getting a car, out of the way...

Oh, ya, you'll have to mail us (which I'm sure you know how to do as I've
never concealed my address), rather than here, cuz I know you'd rather not
have folks know how to reach you. Just as in several other folks who like
to remain unknown but who communicate with me directly, I'll protect that
with/for you.

Looking forward to meeting you...

Skip, moving right along in the projects list

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.

Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."

Yes, he is struck dumb at your stupidity.

Willie-boy, the arm chair sailor opens his mouth yet again exposing
his ignorance.

Willie, these people aren't doing a day trip down the bay, that are
staying out there for a spell..... they need those heavy water tanks.
Unlike you they can't run ashore every day to the public toilets for a
wash.
