I'd never set foot on a boat that would allow someone like me aboard.


I always did love Groucho.

I'd always thought that Goucho Marx was the originater of “I’d never be
a member of a club that’d have me as a member.” I was surprised that a
quick search on it found it being attributed not only him, but to W. C.
Fields and Woody Allen as well. I guess great minds think alike.

And thanks, Capt. JG for the compliment. I agree. It's a very nice
boat and it's a rare time that I find myself aboard and at some point
don't tell myself, "Gawd, I love this boat!"

As far as using Ernest Scribbler's number, I've no idea which of us had
it first. Tricia Jean was built in 1979 (the 192'nd Tayana 37 built),
but I've only had her since 2001, though we've logged close to 20,000 nm
in her during that time. Yours is also a might fine looking vessel.
Built for a different purpose, but none-the-less, a great example of the
class.

Regards,

You're welcome. I think WC Fields wins by a nose.

I'll have to concede on both counts. My Gloucester is an '86 model, new to
me last year, and we've logged around 20,000 yards.

Yours is also a might fine looking vessel. Built for a different purpose,
but none-the-less, a great example of the class.

Thanks.

In that field, the rule is "Steal the best."

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?

What Jere said. He was the first one I thought of when you posed this
question. But in general anyone outside my immediate family who has a
positive attitude is probably going to be a good shipmate. (I exclude
my immediate family because a) none of them participate in this
newsgroup b) even when they don't have a positive attitude, I would
still sail with them because I love them.

And who would you avoid at all costs?

The other side of the coin - people who can do nothing but find fault
and sneer (whether they do it politely using a large non-blasphemous
and non-scatological vocabulary or not) are not good prospects as a
shipmate.
