Roger ,, I dumped Paris. She was named to the worst dressed list. Even I
have standards.

One of my spring projects is too write up safety bulletins. I do
this on my computer, print on heavy paper and then enclose in plastic.

I post these for myself as well as crew.


I was going to write:

What crew? I doubt that the inflatable Paris Hilton will be able to make
any better use of these items than the real one.

But then I realized:

Hey, this is actually a mature and useful post, unlike so much of what has
preceeded it. I should really encourage this.

Cruising under sail is one of those things in which attitude and judgement
are more likely to get you through a situation that is beyond your skill
than skill is likely to make up for a deficiency in the former.

I'm glad to see some good attitude developing. Keep it up and maybe
you'll have a crew.

You know I would agree except for the thought that she doesn't need to be
dressed all that much. How does she rate on the 'best to worst undressed
list'?

Hey,, one thing though. In the summer when I cruise downeast, if I
get along side a lobster boat up one of the rivers, I will call over
and see if Mr Lobsterman will sell me a few of those little clawed
morsels. On many occasions I have purchased a few lobsters from the
lobster boat. Yum.. talk about fresh lobster. And the price is
usually pretty good.



Our specialty on the Ashley River in Charleston is Blue Crabs. The fine
Southern Gentlemen in the white boots covered in crab will GLADLY come
alongside your dock to let you peer, drooling, into their baskets of such
coveted sea life. You may pick and choose to your hearts content before
the poor *******s at the seafood shops get to buy those you discarded.

A proper dock is already equipped and the pot is already boiling and
seasoned for your choices, totally unavailable to the finest restaurant
patrons at any price. The freshes seafood are the ones that still can't
believe they've been caught...(c;

The answer to the little problem you pose lies quite a bit in the past.
Anticipation and early response to developing situation is, indeed, a key
principle of safety.



BINGO! I once got nearly overwhelmed by a squall in 100' of water and
the anchor and rode wouldn't have grabbed the bottom to any extent. I
since upgraded and could toss the hook and have a fair chance of being
able to stop having to tend the tiller and take care of other things or
simply huddle below.

The first few years with Xan, I kept waking up from nightmare scenarios.
After puzzling and reading, I'd come up with a solution and wouldn't
have that particular nightmare again.

And we drill. The one time our home anchorage was lee, the winds too
high, and the engine not necessarily dependable (algae), we did the 3
necessary gybes and got to the dock having only broken two sail slugs.
The admiral didn't feel at all apprehensive, even after talking to
dockmates who saw us come in.
