Anybody else reading this who has also suffered the indignity of a rescue at sea should also consider supporting the brave rescuers. . . Wilbur Hubbard 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? Wilbur Hubbard 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 One more time, dummy...I don't have a Parker or a trailerboat. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing |
