I pity you land lubbers who are pretend sailors.
I pity you land lubbers. Yes, YOU! I don't know anybody posting to Usenet who isn't a dullard landlubber. Capt. Skippy of the "Flying Pig" has even turned into a land lubber as I predicted a couple years ago. I'm the only one MAN enough to live aboard my sailboat who is not a land lubber. I've lived aboard since 1985. I sailed many thousands of miles - mostly coastal cruising which is the most challenging sailing of all. I still sail and anchor out but more often than not I can be found on my mooring in my home port in the Florida Keys. I have found paradise. I can sail overnight in Florida Bay and along the reef in Hawk Channel. I can sail across the Gulf Stream for a Bahamas cruise on short notice as my yacht is always ready to go. I could take off for a sail around the world as that is how well found my yacht is due to my diligence. I've kept my Coronado 27 - hull number 91, manufactured in 1971 and bought from the original owner by yours truly way back in 1985, in better than new condition. Everything is as good or better than the day my fine yacht's hull was popped out of the mold. Considering the living expenses I've saved by not renting or financing a house my fine yacht has EARNED me around a quarter million dollars. It is often said a boat is a hole in the water into which one tosses money but that is only the case if you are a lubber who is too afraid to commit to a maritime existence like I have. For me sailing doesn't cost - it pays. I have to wonder just what is WRONG with the younger generation. I see NO younger sailors who are living aboard with plans to do so indefinitely. I have to wonder why that is. Probably due to the fact that the younger generation has no wanderlust. They can surf the net and they substitute that for reality. Sad. -- Sir Gregory |

You don't have the right attitude, dude. You're stuck on stucco! Freaking fraidy-cat lubber! Your house is just a substitute for the womb you never learned to live without!

Once you get out on the open water, the view never changes. Every time you buy food or anything else, you have to take your dinghy to shore. You've got no room for tools or machinery, so your on board activities are pretty limited. If that's what you like, good for you, but it's definitely not for me. -- Checkmate "The Man Who Destroyed Fakey and Made Him Have a Total Meltdown" KotAGoR XXXIV AUK Hammer of Thor award, Feb. 2012 co-winner, Pierre Salinger Memorial Hook, Line & Sinker award, May 2001 Copyright © 2014 all rights reserved http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdyBY...ature=youtu.be |

However please all note the collection of groups this has been posted to. "Sir" Gregory is just trolling. Andy |
