I never get seasick. I guess I'm just so used to the motion and the
environment where things are always moving. Those motor boats are the
worst
for seasickness, though, as they roll and pitch and corkscrew. (Sailboats
are quite a bit more steady and civilized because the sail dampens the
motion.) Add diesel fumes to the mix and a maggot would probably want to
hurl, so don't feel bad. LOL!

Heh... now I feel bad for maggots!

I don't feel badly for Bruce at all. LOL!

Well, my heart is actually in great shape as I slam it up to max BPMs each
and every week several times when training on my bike. When competing in
individual time trials I run it at 95-100 percent for the most part of
23-some-odd minutes for a 16K course. It could, no doubt, stand the
ecstasy
but, considering I am old enough to be your father, I doubt the
opportunity
would ever arise. :-(

I would not want to take a chance... what if you died! I'd have to
sail the boat by myself. Yikes!! :-) Hey, that might be an easy way to
get a new boat. What are you doing next Saturday? lol


If I died, I would have smile on my face, at least. LOL! You could learn to
sail the boat well enough to arrive at a destination in just a couple of
days. The basics aren't hard to grasp. It's just the finer points that take
a lot of years of experience.



It's too bad about the large age difference as I can tell we are kindred
spirits and I find you extremely attractive just from reading your
thoughts.
Seeing your little photos is like icing on the cake. It makes
physical/mental package even more impressive and desirable. You will sure
make some conservative guy who's closer to your own age one fine mate.

That's funny... I feel that way also.. seems like we have the same
basic values, but of course, we've only been chatting a short time. Do
you use myspace by any chance?

Negative. I don't do any of the 'social network' things. Usenet is more my
style where it's slower-paced and one can say something that might have some
socially redeming aspects. A bunch of idle chatter is not very manly, IMO.

I'm direction challenged! I use my TomTom to get from the office to
apartment. Should I bury you at sea? lol

Sigh.. ok. I use myspace to keep track of people, exchange fun stuff,
keep pictures of me, my friends, things I see and do. I don't really
use it to chat though. You should check it out if you're even in a
mind to.

You aren't getting rid of me THAT easily!

Most women do get lost easily. LOL! Hey, they have GPSs for the ocean-going,
too. If you can navigate using a TomTom then you can navigate using a
Lowrance. Instead of a map you see a chart. Even a California girl ;-) could
figure it out.

Funny thing about MySpace. I had one too, but I just clicked on the link to
it and it said it was no longer available so it redirected me and made an
offer to migrate it to WordPress so I had to migrate it. I finally got it
done and I posted the link in a Ping post to you.

What is the link to yours (MySpace) and does it still work for you? Sure,
I'd like to see it.

Lowance is an electronic chart display? Cool. I guess if you can see
land you can match things up.

I'd love to share it with you, but I'm kind of hesitant about sharing
with the whole world... Maybe email me and I'll
send you the link?

Yes, just punch in your destination and follow the course line to it. But,
you have to watch the depths which are also listed on the electronic chart
to make sure you don't run aground trying to follow a straight line to your
destination. If the depths are dubious just zig and zag the course line and
steer to waypoints to avoid such hazards.

If it weren't for modern conveniences such as these then the likes of a
Bruce in Bangkok, for example, probably would have never gotten out of the
home port harbor. LOL!

Nice aside, but I was navigating the coast of Maine with a magnetic
compass and a Texaco road map before you were weaned.

Big deal! So you were a rank amateur at one time - just goes to show things
never really change. LOL!

It shows depth too? Well, I guess then I'd have to know what is too
shallow.

stressful day!

Good on you, Jessica! Excellent mental outlook - rid yourself of stress by
exercising. Turn unproductive into productive. I wish more people had your
healthy attitude. Instead, most people, when they're stressed out, end up
eating or drinking. That's the worst thing they can do. I can be stressed
out about something and then go for a long, hard, bike ride and it gives me
a chance to think things through and, combined with the physical exertion
and endorphins in the brain, it puts everything in the proper perspective.
