In my opinion, Wibur makes some valid points.. he certainly seems to know
the channel he posted about.

Thank you, sir! Wilbur always knows of which he speaks. Some folks even
consider me prescient. But a lot of that is due to a logical mind that
easily discerns cause and effect. Face it, it hardly takes a genius to
realize that the likes of Joe and Skippy are heading for a fall. One can
tell they are possessed of little or no logic or common sense.


As for Skips "As before, I invite you to tell us of where you've cruised
in the last
- say - year...We're out doing it..."

Like motoring up and down the ICW and going aground every other day is
cruising . . .


Skip is living part time on a boat, to call what he has been doing
"cruising" is a very big stretch.

Exactly correct, my good man!


Since his ill-fated launch, ship wreck, repair, rebuild, depression, ..
blah blah .. about all the cruising he has
done is along the coast, and even this was short hops with long anchor
hanging time in between.

And the fool can't even anchor without dragging most every time the wind
blows or the current changes.


It is February, very cold where I live, snow up the *&^%. If I was
"living" on my boat, "living" the
cruising lifestyle as many do .. I would be in the island, Bahama's,
Cuba.. who knows ... but I would
not be sitting at some "good guy let me use it" dock in FLA. That isn't
cruising, that is houseboat
time.

Perfect for Skippy as he obviously has a houseboat mentality. All the
systems that are constantly breaking down have little to do with sailing
but, rather, with turning a sailboat into a houseboat.


I enjoy Skips postings, in a weird way they are like a bad tv show with a
predictable plot, but I keep
watching anyway. He speaks of his life, health, relatives, etc... very
enjoyable. But .. not in any
way, or stretch of the imagination is what he has been doing ... CRUISING.


Right on, brother!
