You need to grow up, because this isn't adult behavior.

Not only did I read the book, but I heled deliver Turner's winning boat
Tenacious boat, renamed and under new ownership, years later in the Med. :-) Many of the boats found floating, crew gone, we totally trashed inside. On the other hand, the Satori (ala The Perfect Storm) survived quite nicely and washed up on a beach intact with little damage. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "steve_hayes_maine" wrote in message ups.com... If you haven't read "Fastnet, Force 10" recently, you should. Some of the boats from which people were rescued were found after the storm to be floating well on their own. Others were found in pieces over the next several years. There was huge controversy then (and apparently now) whether you were better off in the boat or off. That debate was fueled by the abandonment of a boat by four sailors (leaving two behind for dead), only to have the men in the raft die when it broke apart and while trying to be picked up by a ship (a couple went under the screws, a horrible way to die). Other than Peter Goss, how many of us are willing to be repeatedly knocked down or rolled? Other than the safe advice never to get yourself into that position (and many Fastnet captains were critcized for sailing into a storm), my take is that you make the best call you can based upon the information presented. There were no good choices then and (if you are stuck in a storm), seldom are great choices now (none of us are clairvoyant). Sometimes the "weather signs" are wrong (Gordon Bok has a great song about a fisherman caught in such a storm) and sometimes the "safe" choices aren't. Just before Labor Day this year a worn out hurricane whipped up the East Coast. I was sailing from Rockland to Groton the week following and met a sailer who was limping home to Portsmouth. He had headed for land off New Jersey when he saw the storm coming and got beat to hell on the pilings to which he was tied. He wished (in hindsight) that he had stayed out and battened down. As well, most of us would assume some risk on our own, but the equation changes greatly when you are responsible for the safety of others, and those others are likely to have an opinion as to whether you should "go down with the ship."

One of the sailboat abandoned has been recovered and is tied safely to the
dock in Bermuda. The boat is bruised and battered and will be hauled out tomorrow. Check the news on TV for more details. "Capt. JG" wrote in message ...

You wrote in news:You-9CBBA6.10390413112006
@netnews.worldnet.att.net: If the Insurance Company paid off on the boat, it no longer belongs to the person, but to the Insurance Company. It is their, the Insurance Companys, responcibility to deal with the Hull and Salvage, at that point. I wonder how cheap you could buy it from them for. I buy quite a few musical instruments from them for 2-5c on the dollar that "can't be repaired". Larry -- My calendar must be wrong.... In all the stores, it's ALREADY Christmas! |

That's it ,,, a sure sign ,,, you must be a Freemason, Jew Banker ....
Anyone who would use the word "puerile" here is definitely a Freemason Jew Banker... After reading the writings and thoughts of Larry, Sailboat Guy ... and finding out that the world is run by a Freemason Jew Banker I am changing the name of my boat.. Yup,,, the old name must go. My new name? "I love Freemason Jew Bankers". Why not, it they have all the money and run everything then I am getting onboard ( get it ,, onboard ). Next time I enter a harbor, some guy wearing a yarmulke will be waiting for me with mooring line in hand. He will say "dock over here Captain". "no cost for you". "those women over there are for your pleasure, f'm all free". "do you need any drugs, money, anything"? If you see a boat with a big sign that says "this freemason Jew boat is rockin don't come a knockin" .. that will be me. Should I conceal to the freemason Jews that I am Irish ................... naw.. ========== "mr.b" wrote in message news ![]() On Mon, 13 Nov 2006 15:18:17 -0500, Larry wrote: Jew bankers don't drive their boats.
