Skip is interesting, human. Willie? Willie who? Pomposity does not
sell, unless you got summat to pomp about, like being queen.

Be nice!

I generally try to be nice but I can't stand people like Skip who go
around making a mockery out of sailing and then act like it's so cool to
do so. Their reports are nothing but one blunder after another. Poor
example after poor example. Dangerous acts after dangerous acts. Neglect
after neglect. It's a wonder they managed to survive as long as they
have. It just goes to show some people have a lot of luck.

What I find most offensive about Skip's posts is how no mention is made
by him of WHY he manages to screw up almost everything he does. He never
examines his mistakes nor does he explain what he should have done to
avoid them. He sounds incapable of learning. He gives the impression
that it's normal to go blundering about dangerously putting his life and
his crew's life in danger, not to mention any innocent boaters who
happen to have the misfortune to be run over by him while he's below
typing his trip reports and checking his radar screen every 20 minutes
thinking he's operating safely. Give me a break. This man should be
given no respect - as a matter of fact he should be laughed off the
group.

It's one thing to write his kind of crap as a tall tale and I don't mind
that but Skip never mentions most of it's embellished or in jest because
it probably isn't. A beginning boater might well think Skip is a good
mentor because although he's a hazard on the water his posts are
something beginners might think of as the way sailing is done these
days.

Heaven forbid.
