No massive refit at all
Regarding Message-ID:
Dear Capt. Skippy, We real sailors never have the need for a massive refit and if, heaven forbid, we did have such a need, due to some extraordinary circumstance, even so, it would be an admission of sloth and other such lubberly traits. So what do we real sailors do as everybody knows nothing is forever and breakage and routine maintenance is a fact of life? Well, we real sailors live aboard and we never allow the type of decrepitude that requires a massive refit. Instead, we spend our time daily doing the required upkeep and routine maintenance so as to never require a massive refit. We have our priorities straight and our ducks in a row. We can't abide anything other than shipshape and Bristol Fashion. Real sailors would be mortified to admit they required a massive refit. Even pretend sailors should have the common sense and sense of pride to never give a blow by blow account of a massive refit in Internet discussion groups because doing so is a public admission of lubberly incompetence. If one is incompetent and lubberly, the very least one can do is have the decency to not claim to be a sailor. -- Sir Gregory Blue Water Sailing Yacht, "Cut the Mustard" |
