For example, my fast, blue water yacht, "Cut the Mustard" made a passage from Mobile Bay to Egmont Key (Tampa Bay). The time from sea buoy to sea buoy was 36 hours. The distance was 300 miles. 300 divided by 36 = 8.3 mph average! The LWL of my fine yacht is 22 feet. Theoretical hull speed is only about seven knots. But, as you can see, the theory doesn't always describe fact. So, Jessica is not talking speeds in excess of normal. If my small yacht can average 8.3mph then imagine the speeds a fast sailing yacht with a LWL of forty feet could average. Now, Bruce, if you had ever sailed a real fast cruising boat and not that big fat rotten old tub you live at the dock in you might have gotten around the world in half the time it took you just to get to Thailand.

Dear Jessibur B Your a woman think of it in terms of a cock; really small going fast or bigger and faster. What has your experince been my dear? Robert Pennington Rexroth Jessica thinks that men who talk about cock size are not very evolved. I have to agree with her. Take a hike, Neanderthal! Wilbur Hubbard Dear Wilbur, Your own insecurity about penis size is reflected in Jessibur/Willica personona. The thing many men dont want to know about is what women really thinnk when it comes to cock size. Size DOES matter to a woman its just that many woman will only admit it in very hushed conversations while others, more confident and disclosive, will openly declair that a big dick is a VERY interesting thing to contemplate... Jessica apears to be a confident capable character.... therefore she would be very open to a big cock. But there are regional valuse that prohibit proper ladies from discussion such matters in an open forum,,,,, butwhen be hind closed doors with a trusted girlfriend the subtle cues of interest are obvious to those who care to take time and hear. My dear will bur, writing for a characte is a very dificult task requiring a significan writing skills. A skills you are still developing. The author must truely "become" the other person and that is near impossible for you... Why? becaure you are an ill educated, old white typical conservative male. Its not in your nature and you lack the skills to actually want to learn about someone else. in other words you can not walk a mile, let alone a few feet, in another persons (notice i didnot use MAN'S) shoes. Christ man.... just look what youve been doing here for so many years.... ranting venting spewing, in an effort to show case your maritime knowledge BUT seldom do I see any efort on your part to ask questions, seek information, use those communication skills necessary to understand and learn from another person. My dear sir yuo will never have a healty relationship with another person because it is all about Willbur. I emagin you were a single child maybe you had siblings but they were much older than you or you were the "golden child" the spoiled favorite. You were raised with a sense that you could do what you wanted and that you were always right. You were also most likly one of those bright nurdy kids in grade school. Smart but not popular and when you graduated fro HS didnt attend college or if you did never finished. That is why you are such a verbos know-it-all here..... THis is your stage to scream: I AM WILLBUR! I AM SMARTER THAN YOU! Yup, u got lots of frustration willbur. It must be a terible feeling beleiving you are smarter thatn everyone else but no way to prove it and no one to listen............................... except here :( But Ill listen Willbur :) Tell me how bad it feels............... Certainly Willie-boy must have been an only child. Can you imagination anyone wanting more like Willie? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

Depends on the seaworthiness of the boat. Any size boat can be seaworthy as long as it is built stoutly and has a crew that knows how to handle her in a blow. A ships life boat is a good example. The ship founders in a storm and the crew takes to the life boats which are very small in comparison and expects to survive the storm conditions in them. Sometimes small is better. snip I believe you. I just thought this was about sailing not using an engine. What about on a slightly longer trip.. wouldn't you want to use sail power as much as you can, so you don't run out? One would think so, but . . . Most of the people posting here NEVER sailed a boat that didn't have an engine. An engine on a sailboat is supposed to be an auxiliary which means a secondary means of power. Sadly, most of the Rubes here run their diesels even when the sails are up. And should the wind die and they can't do hull speed, they 'supplement' the sails with the diesel. It's shameful! Why don't people like that just admit to themselves that they are not interested in sailing and just sell the poor sailboat to somebody who would appreciate it for what it was designed to do and buy a motorboat such as a trawler? Wilbur Hubbard Engineless boats? And who was it searching for the cheapest outboard he could find, and has posted pictures of his yellow anchor buoy with the outboard attached? Why, it was Willie-boy, the armchair sailor who must have been reading The Pardys this week. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

And, they drip oil and fuel and foul the bilges which foul bilge water and fuel dregs are then pumped into the water. I never could understand how anybody in their right mind could be justified in thinking that their fun takes precedence over folks who wish to breathe clean air. It's such a me me me, selfish attitude. It reeks of elitism and hypocrisy. Really, it's no different than Al Gore flying all over the glove in his private jet then complaining about how much pollution and CO2 other people are responsible for. Yah, right! Wilbur Hubbard |
