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?

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.
