It has also been proven that women, even if they are the same size as
men, have weaker muscles. It is well known that a woman who weighs 150
pounds has more of that body mass taken up with fat than the average 150
pound male who has less body fat and more muscle. Men's muscles, size
for size, are stronger than women's muscles.

So forget going head to head with men. Instead, be a good girl and
concentrate on giving head. It's the path to womanly success.

Wilbur Hubbard

My Dear Wilbur,
You are forgetting about the fat in some men's head.

As you seem to have a bent for exhibiting a schoolboyish fascination
for the physical reproductive aspects of women that I have noticed in
many of your posts, may I suggest that you put away your dictionary
that has the words "bum", "vagina", "sex", "penis" and other such
sexual terms underlined, disengage yourself from your apparent
enchantment with onanism, and avail yourself of professional help.
They can be found on many street corners.

There are times when I read your responses to queries, as well as some
of your posts, with some respect. Then you make comments to a female
poster which reveal your need to be disliked, further strengthening
and proving to yourself your low self esteem and your need to say to
yourself 'See Mummy, nobody wants to play with me".

My kindest regards to your inflatable lady wife.

I remain
Please don't come south of the equator,
Peter Hendra

Yeah, I like Charleston, too, Larry, but I can remember being directed
to a slip @ the Maritime Marina that had "plenty of water" for my 3
1/2 ft draft cat.
When we couldn't get closer than 6 ft off, I suggested to the
harbormaster maybe there wasn't as much water as he thought. At least
he cleated our docklines and hooked up the end of the water hose we
tossed him.



Cheapskate! The damned "Maritime Center" is only good for DJing wedding
parties and Friday Night radio parties.

It's the WORST place to dock a boat in Charleston...because that's NOT
what it was for...but had to do something to earn money when the fishing
fleet refused to get near it. Huge government waste project,
extraordinare.

Ashley Marina - about 25' at low tide (Tides are 5-6' here)
City Marina (except near shore where the cheap *******s won't dredge) -
about 20' at the outside docks (kept clear by those tidal currents
someone else wanted to point out).
Charleston Harbor Marina - 25-30' right on the edge of a 50' deep ship
channel going out to sea.

We gots lots slips with deep water. Many are at party docks!

Ever heard of Julia Hazel from Australia?

Julia, who is now about my age, took a welding course, came home and
welded a 30 foot steel boat by herself ( - and made a good job of it).
At the time she couldn't afford an engine so she set off and sailed
solo right around the globe without one. To move around when there was
no wind she used a yulow (long single oar) out the stern. At the time
Julia looked stunning and petite in a bikini. Funny thing is she also
has a brain. She documents computer systems and programmes for a
living.

Some women are Russian Mud Wrestlers. But, alas, these are NOT the

over many years of longing observations, thank God.

If one were to poll the assembled females observed sailing in and out of
Charleston Harbor, over a period of many months, one would find them 120#
soccer moms, some married but some foolin' around, who MIGHT be able to
pull 30# on a genoa sheet and NOT be able to crank the winch handle, in
high torque mode on a 2-speed winch, in a 25 knot wind.

These are the women to which I'm referring....not Russian Mud Wrestlers
capable of retracking a halftrack in Moscow in January.

Again, we are talking about an EXCEPTIONAL woman....not the women we are
sailing with. She's a very exceptional woman, indeed.

If she were building HERSELF a yacht. I assume she would have designed in
certain features for a girl who "looked stunning and petite in a bikini",
as you put it. Her yacht wasn't like a Morgan Out Island like Flying Pig
in a gale....wouldn't you say?

I doubt she rowed far....probably to the end of the transient docks...(c;

Karin,
My university educational qualifications are in Zoology as a major.

Did you realise that phylogenetically, men are merely modified
females?

That Real Men who can "**** over the side, burp, flatulate" etc can
actually breast feed babies without taking any medication or hormones
- merely by allowing the baby to suckle several times a day for a
period of about three weeks? It has been done.

Total BS. I trust Maryann with my life regularly. I've sailed with
many competent women and it is not uncommon to see cruising boats out
there run by partners where the woman is the better sailor. In the
local high school sailing league girls have proven time and again that
they are at least as good as the boys at the varsity level.



I agree....as long as the waves are small, the wind is light and the loads
aren't heavy....or, as in the sailing league, the boat is small.

At sea, in heavy weather, my 255 pound ass isn't big enough much of the
time. I can't imagine a woman trying to get the main down in a 40 knot
gale with rain pounding her and the deck boiling up around her. That's
just not right, women's lib or no women's lib. She'll never be as strong
as a man....sorry.

Thinking otherwise, though politically wonderful, is foolhardy and
dangerous.

Hi Larry,
Quite possibly we are talking about quite different areas of sailing.
I am understandably focused on cruising sailors and not day sailing. I
have met quite a few of the latter - not sure which is more amusing,
the men with the gold braided Captain's cap or the women with their
designer yachting gear. - no I know that not all are like that.

cheers
Peter

I think you are generalizing too much. Some people can work the main
in a 40 knot squall and some can't. It is the Captain's
responsibility to know the limitations of the crew and to make
allowances for them.

What do you mean "someday'? I have been doing as I have been told by
my owner for thirty years, but then I come from a country where the
current and last Prime Ministers are women - New Zealand.

Besides, how many men could stand at the wheel for over 20 hours
without once leaving it in heavy weather when the new autopilot
stopped working? My owner has.

Another thing. Many cruising couples reveal that when it is time to go
to the top of the mast, it is the woman who does so. I am expert at
calling out instructions from below. Besides, I know where the tools
she needs are.

When the prop is fouled by a net, a line or a plastic bag (woven
plastic rice bags are the worst), then the owner is urged over the
side - my reasoning - woman have more subcutaneous fat than men and do
not so readily sucumb to the cold. Besides, everyone knows that sharks
do not attack women as readily - something about their smell.

Lastly, women can be yelled at and sworn at during docking or
anchoring - quite common in my experience. If you treated a male
friend like that you would be sailing alone or lying prone often.
