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.

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

I've sailed with Charlie and Bart, and once met Bobsprit.


I'd ask about the bs encounter, but I'm kinda afraid to know..

Charlie and Bart? Don't you mean, Salty and Red? :')

A tiger doesn't change its spots even with a new sock on its fist.

Seems to me it's a sign of a small, petty mind that wants to control
everything, even the nicknames people chose for Usenet. Get a life, dood!
Ain't you got something better to do? Like maybe you should get a date with
Capt. JG since you both act the same.

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.

Was he being responsible for his wake?

No, he was riding in my boat. :-) There were no sail boats in sight
and power boaters wake each other all the time with no one getting
very excited about it.
