so what good is your boat to you, except as a resale
item, if you
become an amputee?

Ignorant girl. Tell that to Tristan Jones who wrote
some
good sailing
books including "Outward Leg". He was an amputee.

I'll bet he would have traded his boat for a good leg,
anyday.

And *that* was Katy's point,

Nope. You're wrong. Her point was just like she said. Get
your leg
amputated between boat and dock and then you've gotta sell
your boat.
It's no good to you anymore except for resale. How can you
possibly get
what you said out of what she said? She seems to think
amputees can't be
sailors. It ain't nice dissing the handicapped. Acting
like a one-legged
man's got nothing going for him. Needs to be sitting in a
wheel chair or
the like. She's ignorant. And you're just like her. So
why don't you
mind your own beeswax.


My take was that her point was, better to smash up your boat
than to lose a limb.

Beeswax, grandpa?
