From Wiki:
A shipmate is literally a mate on one's own ship, ie. a member of the
same crew. A sailor of the oceans and seas who demonstrates selfless
dedication and loyalty, putting the crew, the ship and the mission above
his/her self interests.


So...

Who on this list would you prefer to ship with?



And who would you avoid at all costs?

I've sailed with Doug and Bart, so I can put them in the first category. As
to the second, it seems rather obvious.

I don't know why, but it always surprises me to find people on the
groups who have actually met face to face.

The last time I saw Doug he was racing up the Caloosahatchie River in
a powerboat at close to 40 kts and leaving a wake. That was last
Saturday.

For the same reason that once enjoyed sport scuba alone,,,

I also sail alone. I find the crew more reliable and enjoyable. On
occasion I will take a few passangers. However they are PASSENGERS not
crew.

I also prefer to drink alone simply because I can not stand most
drunks.

I would neither sail with skip or Joe. Each for diffrent reasons
however the outcome is mostlikly the same.

I grew up a single child and find my company rather enjoyable.

I hear you, but there sure as **** ain't no faster way to **** off most
SCUBA folks than to voice this opinion.

Huzzah!

I've dived alone and I've sailed alone. I think sailing (or diving) with
people or without them can have great benefits.

I've met others, but I wouldn't sail with them... no, I'm not going to say
who.
