Wilbur Hubbard Willie-boy, you really expose your lack of knowledge of the "Cruising" world every time you post. Now sit down and think how you would want your "Real Cruising" boat equipped. Not the afternoon junket down the bay, or even the weekend cruising. No, the real cruising life style - you sell the house, kiss the kids good-bye and sail off. That is the type of people in my world and once you depart from the bounds of the afternoon cruise in the bay (and then you discover that the winds aren't blowing you abandon that). I'm talking about, say a "cruise" from Perth, Australia to Phuket, Thailand; maybe a nice trip from Singapore to India (non stop), you know stuff like that? A little late to abandon "afternoon cruise" when you are in the middle of the Indian Ocean and the wind stops blowing. I suspect that once you try to pack your dunnage onto a tiny little boat like yours you might change your tune a little. Imagine - everything you own on a peanut sized boat, no storage ashore, just you and your boat.... and little is better? No Willie-boy, you don't know a thing about real cruisers and you demonstrate your ignorance in your every post. Jesus! Cheating Walmart out of the price of a bottle of booze? A real cruiser!

Jessica,

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 |

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. |

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 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.

Neals off his meds again. Cannibal is tied up in front of my old building in El Lago, right where RedCloud use to be moored, she is a pretty boat. You interested? I know the boat and the owner if you need any more info. Check out this hull: http://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/16201 She's trashed inside, but might be a good project boat. Joe Joe Joe Joe? He seems pretty reasonable to me. Reasonable? LOL! Girl, you've got a lot to learn . . . I meant that you seemed pretty reasonable!! 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. Bummer that he lost his boat... Did they make him pay for his airlift? Seems like things would be a lot better if people paid for their mistakes... or at least had to make some kind of partial payment. 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 |

... snipped some I can't help loving your sensible attitude. Thanks! I've been accused of that before. You're a rare type these days. . . 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. I guess the point is these lubbers who pretend to be sailors are actually comforted by having familiar household appliances running. I suppose it relieves the tension the feel on a boat so they use it as a security blanket of sorts. I don't know if you've spent any time in or around boats but very ludicrous is when so-called sailors become all insecure in any kind of moderate to heavy winds so what do they do? They start up the diesel and keep it running on 'standby'. Talk about Binky city. LOL! 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. I suppose I'm spoiled here in southern Florida. It gets a little chilly from time to time in the winter but most of the year it's shorts, sandals and t-shirt time. Shoes are for the land. I don't allow cigarette smoking aboard nor do I allow shoes worn. Nothing beats bare feet. If one is so clumsy that they stub a toe then I say, "TOUGH." So no bubble busted. Actually any enclosed footwear is bad for the feet. Makes a great environment for smelly bacteria and hungry fungus. 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. 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. 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. You are so well-grounded. Why can't everybody be a little less selfish and a little more concerned about peace and quiet - especially in an anchorage. Are they so stupid and/or rude that they think their individual noise has greater rights than others peace and quiet. Just who are these people who are so self-centered and arrogant? Not only do they make noise but they pollute the atmosphere doing it. Any boat downwind from a diesel motor running will be forced to breathe dangerous and obnoxious fumes. How rude is THAT? Your sipping a daiquiri bothers nobody at all while making noise and running smelly generators bothers EVERYBODY. The really sad thing is real sailors don't do that kind of crap - it's just the pretenders doing it and ruining an anchorage for everybody. I just wish these cretins would buy an RV and stay ashore. They really are nothing but trailer park trash cum marina trash cum pretend sailor. "Hey lookit meeeee!" types. 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. Believe me I have. I get settled into a nice quiet anchorage by mid-afternoon and around sunset here comes the obnoxious twits who come motoring in, anchor directly upwind of me, the only other boat in the anchorage, and about three boat lengths away. Do they think I love company so much that I need a close neighbor? They anchor by committee which is the moron at the helm yelling at the top of his lungs at the poor wife at the bow dealing with the anchor. Then they don't even back down on the anchor. They just drop it with about twenty feet of chain lying right on top of it. Then they jump in the inflatable with the 25 HP outboard, they coax in the barking dog. Then off they roar making a big wake. Then they come back after the dog has shat on somebody's lawn with bags of groceries and cases of beer and then they proceed to play loud music and get drunk and holler and scream until about 2 o'clock in the morning. This is what sailing has come to and most of the imbeciles here in this group actually defend that kind of behavior because they, themselves, regularly engage in it. It's a truly sad state of affairs. Wilbur Hubbard |

The two on the barge leaped across to the bow of the rescuing tug and the oil rig people jumped overboard and most were retrieved over the stern of a service boat. I can assure you that none of them were endeavoring to measure the relative height of the rescue craft and wait until they had to step "up" snipped Wilbur Hubbard Cheers, Bruce |
