People run out of energy very quickly in water less than 85 degrees F., and if you can't deploy the swim ladder, where are you going to swim to?

So much for this global warming nonsense. Brrr is right. But the brainwashed liberal drones who believe the human-caused global warming lie will tell you that one of the things global warming does is to cause cold and snowy winters. They will also tell you that global warming can cause warm, dry winters. They will tell you anything that strikes their moronic fancy and they will wholeheartedly believe every contradictory bit of it. Liberals are simply unable to think analytically. Actually, they don't really think at all; they just parrot the party-line propaganda. If there's one thing I appreciate is a consistent explanation, but as you point out, it doesn't seem to happen from that side of the debate. I think there is climate change happening, but that's always been the case. I read somewhere sun spots are on the rise (more than usual in the cycles). What about that??? No interest in San Fran... sorry. It's fun to visit for a few days, after that it's just to weird. Nothing but a modern day Sodom and Gommorah. I wouldn't mind seeing a giant earthquake that sinks the self-satisfied sodomite population to the bottom of the ocean. Well, perhaps that's being a bit too harsh. How about 95% of the self-satisfied sodomites? I don't wish anyone dead. It's a pretty wild place, and it just gets old after a while. I really don't want to have that sort of behavior in my face over and over. I'm sure there are normal people who live there... how they can stand it though is beyond me. Seems like maybe government officials should worry more about drug runners than people minding their own business on a sailboat? Exactly. But, those coward government officials won't mess with people who shoot at them like big illegal drugs cartels. They'd rather harass defenseless, law-abiding citizens who are minding their own business trying to enjoy life. I'm not much for people doing drugs, but if they don't hurt anyone perhaps it's not so bad. I have to participate in regular drug testing (work req.), so I'm not going to risk my job. I smoked a joint in college. It just wasn't that interesting. I hope you weren't a dumb as Bill Clinton who didn't inhale. LOL! Yah, right! It just didn't do anything for me. Ok. I don't like Clinton.. never did, but he was really handsome when he was younger... lol We had to do random drug test where I worked, too. And it was a zero-tolerance workplace. One positive result and you were history. Yet, some people got tested and got fired - marijuana mostly, one idiot for cocaine. So stupid to have warped priorities that put smoking dope above a well-paying job with excellent benefits. Even if you were driving along in a company car minding your own business and some fool ran into you you were tested for drugs. Any accident actually, if you hurt yourself like spraining an ankle, cutting yourself badly or anything like that which needed medical attention you were required to **** in a bottle for them. If it was positive you were fired and you got no workers comp either. Wilbur Hubbard I think if you're job is on the line (certainly these days!), why would you risk it? We have basically the same policy... all injuries have to be reported, you have to see someone, and you have to take a drug test. I got something in my eye a couple of years ago... it was sort of stupid to have to take a drug test, but those were the rules. I don't think you should get any workers comp if you're stoned and you get hurt. |

Well, as you are making the noise would you like to provide some sort of background for your remarks? I've repeatedly said that I never had the intent of making a circumnavigation and given that I've lived in Thailand for the past 40 years I wonder why I would want to make a circumnavigation? I've stated innumerable times that my boat is in Phuket and even furnished a Google view of the marina and pointed out my boat. You keep rambling on about Bangkok Docks (which is actually the name of a company that repairs ships). In short Willie you don't know what you are talking about.

Wilbur Hubbard Willie-boy take a look at http://captainvids.com/boating-video...-haven-marina/ which, as the title says was taken at yacht Haven Marina, where I kept my sailboat, where I met the bloke, Aron Meder, a real sailor. Aron sails a Carina 20 (you can find that on the Web) which actually measures 19 ft. so here we have a young bloke sailing around the world (he completed his circumnavigation) who really doesn't have much to say other then "I wanted to go so I bought the biggest boat I could afford and went". On the other hand we have a bloke sitting on a 26 ft. boat, at anchor, for years and years, blathering that HE is a sailor. A farce indeed. Cheers, Bruce |

Yours is the reasonable view. Saying "climate change" is redundant as that's what climate does - it changes. It goes through natural and normal cycles. There have been numerous warm periods and numerous ice ages throughout history and well before mankind arrived on the planet. We happen to be in an interglacial period right now and it's likely to be relatively short-lived if past history is any kind of predictor of future performance. It would be lucicrous to ignore Sol's energy output as the primary factor affecting the various planets' temperatures. Even Venus with it's runaway greenhouse effect will be slightly hotter during a cycle of greater solar energy output. Not only are the polar ice caps melting somewhat on Earth but the Martian polar ice and dry ice caps are also melting somewhat. Is there man-made global warming on Mars. Yah right!

I also got something poked in my eye - a sharp thorn from a tree branch when I was working pinpointing a small water main leak in the brush alongside of the roadway. It bloodied the white part of my eye so I had to go see an eye doc. Automatic drug test. But, I didn't do drugs so, of course it came back negative. I always worried about a blotched test where some Rube in the lab did something wrong or mixed up the specimens or something so it came back positive. But, they claimed to do double-blind testing to rule out that sort of mistake. I don't think you should get any workers comp if you're stoned and you get hurt. Agreed but with the caveat of responsibility. If you get accidently hurt because of somebody else's negligence it's not really fair to punish you even if you were stoned.

One can tap in a cam type piton with another piton, for example, or one can simply slide it in and the cam action tightens it into the crack and makes it secure. No hammer necessary.

Here you are hanging over a 1,000 ft. drop and you go to place the next piton that is going to support you as you rappel down the cliff face. And you are going to daintily slide the piton in a crack, and hook on and let go your present anchor? You might say that you are; sitting there in your easy-boy recliner. But if you really were up on that face you'd hammer that sucker in, just like everyone does. Cheers, Bruce |

Real rock climbers use pitons mainly for belay and safety lines. Most rock faces nowadays have lots of pitons already in place. Cam-type pitons are for existing cracks and they work just fine with no hammering in at all. I have done some rock climbing, have you? My rock climbing was mostly in the context of spelunking. You don't hammer pitons into solid rock. You must look for cracks or soft spots. Cam type pitons are very secure when placed in cracks of workable width. Get a clue. Wilbur Hubbard |
