Day sailing at best is an A Scow, a thirty knot monohull.
The scow shape allows heeling with a full length waterline. This cuts
down on pitching. Slices like a knive, with the edge. Undisputed king
of the daysailers, did they not cost they earth. Of course, sail
boards and multihulls have eclipsed it for top speed, but they held
the record for most of the twentieth century.

Reach into your pocket, Joe, and donate generously to help defray the
great
cost the Coast Guard incurred because of the hasty and most likely
unnecessary air lift from 'Red Cloud'. Anybody else reading this who has
also suffered the indignity of a rescue at sea should also consider
supporting the brave rescuers. . .

Is this your reason for not going cruising? That you don't want to get
your name in the newspaper?



I've cruised under sail thousands of miles more than poor hapless Joe and
I've NEVER been in any situation where I felt it necessary to call the Coast
Guard for a rescue operation. I know my boat and I have eliminated all her
weaknesses. I know when and where to sail and when and where NOT to sail.
Unlike Joe, the motorboat type, who spent more time painting the rusty steel
hull when he should have been taking a close look at the systems such as the
rudder, I spend most of my time making sure my vessel won't founder in a
little old cold front. Joes just figures he'll motor his way though. My
gosh, how sad is one's preparation if a cold frontal passage sinks you
because your rudder control hardware falls apart and the rudder commences to
punch holes in the transom? Duh! I guess Joe never heard of a rudder stop?

Lets see, down the bay to the swamp, anchor over night, back in the
morning.... Thousands of miles, eh?

In English terminology, you are "telling porkpies again". A
"deep fat fryer" in other words.

Cheers,

Bruce

That's a lot of prep you've done just to run out to the end of the dock
and back, Willie Boy.


Says "ParkerBoi" with the old "just for show' in the driveway on the trailer
with flat tires. LOL!

Wilbur Hubbard

My goodness, you have let your boat trailer deteriorate? And you were
bragging about up-keep?

Neal I pay taxes, I've been funding them all my life.
Plus I did not charge the USCG to use my vessel as a command post
during hurricane Alicia at the city docks in Houston.
Nor did I charge PHI when I rescued a down chopper with 6 passangers
in the Gulf that had only one pontoon inflate and capsized.
I also did not charge the USCG when they requested I tow a capsized
Sport fisher out of the Matagorda Jetties.
Did not charge Mobil when they had a poison gas leak and asked us to
shuttle them out to a production rig. Was working for Anadarko.
Never charge the many many mariners who I've towed to the docks,,off
the mud, or oyster reefs..ect..
One of my crew member served 4 years in the USCG and I served 4 in the
Navy


Every New Years day I bring enough coffee for every USCG member
stationed at Ellington Field to get his fill and more.
We also provide free coffee every day of the year at the Galveston
Seafarers Center for any working mariner who wants it.
Donated coffee for the Gala ball saluting the USCG this year. They
even had a special table named after the USCG Cutter Heron
that tried to assist us but had to turn back due to seas to big for
the 110 ft cutter, they only made it ten miles offshore before they
had to turn back.

I'd rather chance getting rescued then spending my life on a chain
having to crap in a bucket. Sheeze you live on a dime store boat made
for day sailing at best.
The 13 years I sailed RedCloud I put more miles on her then you ever
have dreamed of sailing, including many offshore Regetta's.

Would you like to touch on the subject of making money as a master
mariner? You did have a joke of a ticket once..right?
I made 100's and 100's of thousands of dollars over the years I worked
as Captain. How about you?

So go **** yourself Nellie, you do not have the right to advise me on
donating anything.

Joe

Also donated coffee for auctions that help keep the Elissa floating,
and funding for the Seafarers center.


The real question is, "if Willie-boy does call the Coasties; will they
respond?" After all some of them might know him.

Cheers,

Bruce
