In my own case I just painted a new name on the stern and went sailing
and seeing that I rode out the recent Thai tsunami some 15 miles off
the island of Phi Phi, in Pha Nga Bay, I can't believe that any bad
luck was accrued by the name change.

If you were a real sailor as you claim you would know this. Again, I say you
are a fraud or a wannabe. You show your ignorance of things nautical daily.
Please go away. Maybe you and Skippy should get together and swap some
tales. He's about your speed. Just another wannabe.

Well, well, Willie the expert.

Given that I was there I think I have a petty good idea how high the
wave was. But, since you are an expert please tell me know how high
the wave was when I encountered it, and while you are amazing us with
your brilliance you might also let us know how deep the water was
where I encountered the wave.

It would also be enlightening if you to give us an inkling of how many
tsunamis you have survived, and perhaps a little information on your
experiences in these matters to demonstrate that you actually have
some knowledge of what you talk and are not just another fool
parroting words that others have written.

LOL You just can't resist this guy, Bruce. Not complaining. Freedom
of speech and all that. Carry on.

SKIP: How many real boats do you know that are named after land
animals???

I know of vessels named
Petral
Jeager
Halibut
Puffin
Sea Lion

But I dont know of any sea boats with a land animal name. At least one
that is still floating ;)

SS Badger on Lake Michigan. A ferry, it burns coal and it has piston
engines.

Let's not forget the "Beagle".

You imagined it if there was a wave at all. It's a simple fact that in deep
water tsunamies are not even noticable. Unless that bay is only a couple
hundred feet deep or less you'd not see a tsunami passing. You said you were
fifteen miles from some island. Water was probably pretty deep fifteen miles
out from the nearest land. I don't have a chart but I'd guess a thousand
feet or two is the depth where you were.


It would also be enlightening if you to give us an inkling of how many

Because I read everything in sight don't hold that against me. It's the
reading combined with the years of practical experience that makes me
biggest expert in these groups. Never forget it.

Your boats are junk compared to my Swan. I wouldn't even want to anchor
close to what you two own. I refer to such as them as 'bum boats.' I prefer
more enlightened company in an anchorage.

Hi:

And do you notice that all have a Recreational documentation......
NONE are Coast Wise.... But I suppose you could also find a few pig
boats that were documented Coast Wise too.

So it looks to be a bunch of luberly lake people name their boats all
sort of discusting things...

Hell, why not Blow Job or maybe Wet Spot...... as well.

Bagger.......... like I said, no worthy Sea Boat has a terestial
animal name

Actually, I've seen a Wet Spot. (It's a power boat.) And DH swears
he's seen a boat by the name of Blow Job.

As usual you have one tiny little bit of information and a ton of
ignorance. You are correct that a wave has a vertical motion that
changes the height of the wave as the depth of water changes but this
is a variable that depends on the size of the wave and the depth of
the water.

Since, by your own statement, you have no conception of the size of
the wave or the depth of water you are in no position to comment but
of course that doesn't bother you a bit. The relief check is in and
you've got enough money, this week, to buy your favorite tipple so you
suck on the Thunderbird bottle and spout drivel.

Because I read everything in sight don't hold that against me. It's the
reading combined with the years of practical experience that makes me

Well, the reading is good but when you filter what you read through
the Thunderbird haze they become devoid of intelligence.

Willie, Willie, face facts. you don't own a boat. If you don't stop
drinking that cheap-ass Thunderbird you are going to go completely
around the bend, you are already hallucinating.
