I *did* offer some good advice, although without any apology whatever for disagreeing with your prejudices. You got all ****y because I popped your balloon. Life is tough sometimes. DSK |

There's no substitute for length ... if you want to be
even halfway comfortable offshore. JAXAshby wrote: unless, of course, you have to change out a 600 square foot mainsail or 800 foot genoa in building sea and wind conditions.

But I have no need or desire to apologize. Need, my dear friend, yes. Desire? It has been well established you don't. In your first post, you displayed [...] that you weren't really interested in advice Is that so? Then why would I post a question in the first place? Maybe you've forgotten my first post. Why don't you re-read it. Why on earth would I say: "--What other boats do folks recommend?" if I wasn't really interested in their advice? I'm sorry but it's just too easy to pick your arguments apart Doug I *did* offer some good advice, Yes, you did offer _SOME_ advice. I'll grant you that. For those who may not have seen the first post, I show Doug's "good" advice below: On a message dated: 2004-03-12 08:31:43 PST Doug "The Fresh Toilet King" wrote: My first advice is to drop the phrase "blue water cruiser." It makes you sound like you want to be the Tidy Bowl man. By his own account Doug King is a bit confused and thinks that people who use the term "blue water" are talking about toilet disinfectants. As stated earlier he probably thinks that the term "green water" refers to the competing brand. Who knows what he thinks when he hears the term getting "pooped". I'm sorry Doug, but you are just too easy a target. You were rude. Admit it. In your own words you said: "--If I was rude, it was rather mild." And I will grant you that as well. It was rather mild and it was rather entertaining at that. But rude nonetheless. You got all ****y because I popped your balloon. Wrong, again! I'm rather entertained by the whole brouhaha. Soundly defeating you at your own game is rather entertaining if not very challenging. It seems like you are the one getting all ****y because somebody has called your bluff. Since we are offering each other advice, here's some advice for you: My advice is for you to stick to sailing in your posts. You are smart, knowledgeable and experienced. People could benefit from what you have to say, instead of just dismissing posts signed by "DSK". Try to let people come to respect your opinion by the quality of your posts and don't try to get snotty with strangers. The world would be a better place for it.

I tried to install a fake smokestack on my sailboat but the fibreglass
melted from the welding. BB DSK wrote in message ... Gould 0738 wrote: The smokestack motif looks a little better on the cabin top than a big FRP box might, expecially with "PROPANE" emblazoned on the side. What I really like about the smokestack is the way it attracts the attention of all the envious cretins who will never be able to afford a boat with one. Fair Skies Doug King |
