I believe he has a 2 cycle outboard also, talk about oil in the water. The Tohatsu 6HP is a four-stroke motor and meets Ultra Low emission standards. Not only that, but it is rarely used - unlike your diesel boat which uses the engine every time it gets underway. My sailing yacht moves about 98% of the time under sail. Your diesel boat moves 100% of the time under the pollution-making diesel. You should be ashamed of yourself. And, probably even when you're not underway, you're running a diesel powered generator. So, in effect, you pollute 24/7 when you're out cruising. So, stop trying to change the subject. Just admit your irresponsible and selfish attitude concerning your willingness to pollute the very air we breathe just because you honestly feel your recreation is more important than our health. Wilbur Hubbard Ah Willie-boy but you are rationalizing your need for a motor, aren't you. A famous (armchair) sailor like you admitting that he needs a motor. I'm ashamed of you. Better read another book to teach you how to sail without a motor and then you can be 100%. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) I didn't see him rationalizing anything like that. He said he uses it rarely and appropriately. How is that a rationalization? At best it is rationalization. for one who frequently extols his great skill in pure sailing to be found out to have a (Ugh) motor and to admit that he uses it appropriately... How can one who is such a skilled sailor use a motor appropriately? Given that, they say, life is a learning process, perhaps you would like to take a look at the dictionary: Hypocrite: A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives Or perhaps, to use the vernacular: Phoney: A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives If you knew how to use a dictionary, Bruce, you wouldn't have misspelled 'phony.' SMACKDOWN! Wilbur Hubbard A beautiful try Willie-boy; unfortunately you missed it. You 'mericans are not the final arbitrator of the English language. See the extract from the dictionary below: phoney ~ noun very rare 1. a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives phoney ~ adj very rare 1. fraudulent; having a misleading appearance As I said, if you keep your mouth shut nobody will ever notice how ignorant you are. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) That seems pretty desperate. You should admit when you're wrong about something especially if it's a small thing. |
