Right, there's the caring, community minded attitude that we love in our
fellow cruisers. What an arrogant response Wilbur.

Am I the only person it has occurred to that it only takes a community if
you are a dependent wimp who either never had what it takes to be a man or
who had it once upon a time but lost it via this sick, liberal dependence on
"the community?" Whatever happened to a man standing on his own two feet?

Arrogance is a proper attribute of a real man. One is arrogant because one
is strong and knows he has what it takes to succeed and lives life
accordingly and recognizes the weakness that causes lesser men to tuck tail
and run without making a stand. Those who decry arrogance, or any other
manly virtue for that matter, are girly-men who have a liberal bent which
bent is all about the self-imposed emasculation. Such as these do not have
what it takes and they know it. To feel better about themselves, instead of
trying to improve their own lot and becoming more manly, they attempt dress
in panties and skirts those who exhibit manly attributes.

I shall have none of it!

A real man can be strong and succeed in life and doesnt' need to be
arrogant. I think the arrogance is the lack of success and the jealousy of
the others out there doing, instead of sitting around thinking about it.

You never had any of it. I have watched your rants and can only say that you
are a durned good troll.

No Willy, you have this one wrong too. Confidence is one (of many)
proper attribute of a man. One is confident when he recognizes his
knowledge and ability to function. Confidence is not necessarily a lack
of fear, any more than bravery is not necessarily a lack of fear. It is
recognizing the knowledge that he can and will succeed. Bravery is
recognizing any fear, and making oneself move ahead in spite of that fear.
Arrogance on the other hand is no manly virtue. It is for those girly
men who have to hide the fact they have no confidence. They bluster and
blow and call others names to try to erect a smoke screen to hide the
scared, unsure little boy inside themselves from being found out. In
some arrogant girly-men, such as yourself, they have to tell lots of
lies about supposed accomplishments to make themselves out to be much
more than they know they will ever be. We recognize those lies because
the arrogant girly-man telling them rarely gets his information right.
Have a nice day

You write an interesting response Wilbur. Facinating that you see personal
arrogance & lashing out at others as virtues to be valued. Most, Wilbur,
see these actions and attributes as those of one with a weak character &
no-doubt shows a man who sees himself as lacking & afraid that others will
discover it. It is a weak man who is never able to admit any shortcomings &
the sign of a real man who is confident enough that he is willing to show
some of his flaws.

I agree with Rosalie, one has to look at more than one source to have any
confidence in a forecast and even then there willl always be some
uncertainty. I recall going from 1st to 2nd reef in a building NE breeze
few miles off Sandy Hook while the Mt. Holly NOAA forecast was still
predicting "5 to 10 and variable" conditions for that end of the Jersey
coast. At the "local conditions" part of the same broadcast they were also
reporting 18 gusting to 22 at Ambrose, so there was a total disconnect in
the info being sent out over the airwaves. These VHF reports can be
misleading due to the wide area of coverage and "other factors too numerous
to mention" but I'd hate to be without them. If one has access to the
internet the forcaster's "Area Forecast Discussion" link on NOAA websites is
*extremely* valuable in giving a good view of what the individual forecaster
is actually looking at when he or she distills a huge amount of information
from diffent sources and models down to the few words that are then sent out
to the public. There is always some, and sometimes a huge amount of
uncertainty implied in these laudably honest discussions -- but the official
public forecast seldom relects this except in very general terms.

When I do the weather for the Chesapeake using NOAA (which certainly
DOES apply to that area), I often find that their forecasts are wrong,
either in wind direction or wind intensity and sometimes both.

The thing that you have to do it to really understand what the
forecasts are based on, and that takes a bit of time. snip
