Should it ever occur...
 
But I've got lots of sailing destinations within easy reach -- islands,
coves and bays, nice protected anchorages and access to great cruising
grounds if I have the time to visit them. Planning to take a week in July
for a nice long sail up to Beaver Island, down the eastern shore of Lake
Michigan, then back to Marinette via the Sturgeon Bay canal.

Do you have any pics posted anywhere of the boat? Also do you think you will
have access tot he internet at times to be able to post updates on what is
happening out there? I'd like to know how the trip is going and what you are
doing to deal with any adverse conditions or anything really interesting you
might come across.

Karin,, that makes two of us... I would never want Charlie Morgan anywhere
near my boat. Being rescued by him would be worse than
than drowning. No way ,, I will take my chances with King Neptune.

But :: if Larry is cruising by with a boat load of ladies? Now,, I may
just go below and pull the plug ..

Getting rescued by Larry is a good career move.

That just makes more work and danger for the rescuers who still will
be out there trying to locate you.

How about this: Until I am in such a condition and people ARE looking for
me, the point is moot.

Karin


It's a stupid, selfish, and irresponsible thing to do for the reason I
mentioned.

CWM


And I consider it far more stupid, selfish and irresponsible to expect
others to put their own lives at risk to come to one's rescue when one has
made the decision to put one's life in danger. Particularly if that "one"
is me. So I'll make a deal with you: I insist that you do NOT come to my
rescue. End of problem.

Karin,,, you must be a Republican. Charlie is obviously a Democrat.

In Charlie's world nobody takes responsibility for anything.

If you hear someone scream out to you from the helicopter "it takes a
village, we are here to save you" ..

That would be Charlie.


If you hear "got any naked women on board who need a rub down"

That is Larry.


If you call back "yes, I have the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders onboard and
they need help" and you see a guy with grey hair jump out of the helicopter,
and swimming toward your boat ..

That's me.

Don't worry though .............. I am not there to save you, I will have
my hands full with "my cheerleaders".

The problem is that you don't get to make this decision. They will be
coming to look for you, Epirb or not. Your wrong-headed plan only
serves to put others at greater risk.

CWM


I've already told them not to. If they do anyway, it's not my plan that
put them at risk, but their own. Please excuse me for being responsible
for myself.

Essie used to be featured prominently on the Rawson30 homepage
(www.rawson30.com) but the site is undergoing a makeover and the picture is
gone :-(

I intend to be reasonably out-of-touch during my summer sail, but we'll
mostly be hopping from anchorage to anchorage, and might stop at marinas a
night or two -- depends mostly on how my crew feels. But I'll take my camera
and get plenty of video and stills, Insh'Allah.

Just don't tell anyone that you are leaving or where you are going then
you won't be missed and no one will come looking.

That would certainly do it, and would give me the ultimate sense of freedom.
Americans, for the most part, don't want to be free. They want to be safe,
while being *told* that they're free.

Wonder if Larry ever has Carmen Electra out for a sail?
Anyone see her in that backless dress at the Detroit Auto Show?
My my!
