heh.
Your dementia is showing, as I covered this before :{)) We're wrapping up the last loose ends, and expect to be moving again in the next couple of weeks. Hearing aids, for both the admiral's mother, and me, are being looked after, and will be resolved soon. Minor other stuff, ditto. We are hardly MIA, though we're not yet back out at it.

Poor Skippy hasn't seen any sailing action for over three years now. He's turned into a regular homebody. Probably wears a skirt by now. I should have just said he was missing. -- Sir Gregory |

Skippy's biggest problem and your biggest problem are the same. You're both pussy-whipped. You two have not decided that you are in charge. Instead, you've taken a back seat to your spouse's wishes (and probably her nagging). Face it, you land lubbers are there for a reason. You haven't the desire nor the gonads needed to tell your women that they do as you say or they find themselves out on the street. Freaking WIMPS who let their women wear the pants are never going to be successful sailors and cruisers. -- Sir |

I wouldn't be so sure. What *evidence* you have probably seen is more likely to be disgust at your mode of travel. Instead of being a responsible cruiser, you pollute the air with your motors. You cause others to view you as one rude and uncaring person when you anchor upwind of them and they end up having to breathe diesel fumes when one of the main reasons they are anchored out in the first place is they want to breathe fresh air. Loose the stinkpot and you will find you will be way more welcome in anchorages. -- Sir Gregory |

Those days are over however, never to return unless diesel goes to $20/gallon or something outrageous like that. BTW, we've never felt unwelcome in an anchorage and still have many sailing friends. In the end cruisers are cruisers. We all have stories to tell and adventures to share. The interesting people that you meet along the way and the new friends you make are really some of the best parts of cruising. |

Follow us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheFlyingPigLog and/or http://groups.google.com/group/flyingpiglog "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinion drown out your own inner voice; and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary". - Steve Jobs |
