Jessibur B Hubard,

Did it chafe your manboobs causing redness and great pain?

Bob

Since you're not able to be civil, I have no reason to continue to
talk to you.

When I sailed it was pretty cold, so there wasn't much to do but stay
behind the black canvas (dodger). Even over the clothes (several
layers) it still started to bother me, and it there was no real
possibility of falling off.

Seems like maybe government officials should worry more about drug
runners than people minding their own business on a sailboat?

Wrong! Conservative thinking has at it's core personal rights and
personal
freedom and personal responsibility. It is very conservative to suggest
a
body learn to swim prior to going out on the water.

Oh, clueless one, the point is to NOT fall off the boat. If you are
stupid
or inept to fall off the boat then you deserve to be left behind to
drown.
Your personal responsibility is to take such measures as will satisfy
you of
your OWN PERSONAL SAFETY. If you wish then wear a life jacket but don't
try
to leglislate personal safety decisions and make them mandatory for
everybody. I'm an adult - I will make my own personal safety decisions
and
the federal or state government be damned. If you want to be a Nazi,
fine.
But, leave me out of your world view. Is that too much to ask?

Hey dummy! In case you haven't noticed I'm not talking about commercial

vessels.
Get a clue and try to stay on topic, d00d!



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? A lot of people have drowned trying to swim to shore in
cases where they'd have been just fine holding onto the boat.

::Wayne, I comend your conservative and detaild response. To Willica I

Bob, you haven't a clue what conservative even means. I suggest you do
some
basic research on the term. And, don't limit it to a political
definition
only. When you have educated yourself then you may return and perhaps
not
make as big a fool out of yourself as is the case in your post to which
this
is the reply.

Dismissed!

Wilbur Hubbard



I was specifically told not to fall off the boat by the skipper. I
didn't fall off the boat! LOL

Rats!


I would have told her to fall off on purpose so I could do some
man-overboard rescue practice drills.

An added advantage would be a wet t-shirt. LOL!


Wilbur Hubbard


In all her glory. As you can tell, she was the life of the party.

As long as you didn't push me! FYI, sorry I saw your email today, but
just didn't have the opportunity to give a thoughtful reply. I'll get
to it this evening after I get back from the gym. I hope you had a
nice day!

No rush. I took my time answering yours. . .

Also, Waldo sounds like an ass.

Agreed. He sounds bitter about something. Certainly, he can't still think
Jessica B is just another nym for Wilbur Hubbard. If so, then he sure can't
read with comprehension.

I just hope these morons keep it up. If they can't tell a real woman from
Wilbur Hubbard then they can't read with comprehension nor can they relate
to a real woman. If this keeps up, pretty soon I'll have you all for myself.
But, I'll have to figure out a way to get rid of that blankity-blank gas can
guy. LOL! Maybe I'll drill small holes in his pitons.

You need to sail where it's warm or hot. It's ever so much more fun. The
water is also warm and swimming and snorkeling is just great. I heard they
might be getting SNOW in San Francisco today. Brrrr. It's 83 degrees outside
today with a nice 10-12mph south wind.


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.

We practice all the time, slide.
But my boat has a sugar scoop stern with a drop down stern ladder.

Retrieving hats is harder...

Hell no! Never have, never will. Just don't fall
off the boat.

Life jackets are for children only as they aren't
cognizant of the danger of falling overboard.

Wilbur Hubbard

That's totally irresponsible. Wear one for your loved ones if not for
yourself.

Loved ones? What loved ones?

Wilbur Hubbard
