You drifted for 6 hours???
it is difficult to sail once the hired captain has lowered and tied down the sails. It is difficult to motor once the hired captain has turned off the engine. |

From: (JAXAshby) Jax, you were nothing but signed on baggage/muscle. If this guy was REALLY a "career merchant marine" with some type of deck license, YOU would be the LAST person he would confer with about his position. Your, or I should say his, problem had nothing to do with the accuracy of the charts (especially considering the number of GPS's, onboard) .... it had EVERYTHING to do with NOT knowing where you were and where you were going. Obviously, you've never learned ..... on boats or ships, people like you (no knowledge, no experience, no ability) are meant to be used ..... not heard (exceptions noted .... you don't qualify). Shen yup, me AND the career merchant marine, both lost. Or more accurately, neither he nor I completely trusted the charts to be completely accurate. That's the same as being lost, I guess. |

Hi folks
I have little experience at sea. I have raced SJ28's in Puget Sound for about eight years, and have island hopped in Palau and Micronesia. My direct knowledge is, therefore, limited. I enjoy lurking here, as it is quite educational, and contributes, in many ways, to my fantasies and "someday's". I cant, understand, however, what you all have against the person signing in as JAXAshby. Maybe I wasn't here when he raped someone's wife, but I have considered his contributions as useful as most of the others I have read here. Of course, I haven't the broad experience you all have and may be taken in. In any case, I intend to lurk and learn. cheers oz |

Two thoughts:
1. oz, you haven't been lurking all that long. 2. "You can fool some of the people, all of the time; all of the people, some of the time........"

actually, you have more experience than they do. You have been on a boat. |

dougies, don't be foolish. *you* are advocating taking a Nimrod offshore with your statement. yacht brokers, most of them, won't list a Nimrod they know has been taken offshore, for the boat doesn't usually pass survey upon sale. Wo ho! :-) Thanks for that one. It's spring time in the NW, and my gardening wife has been nagging me to bring home several bags of steer manure. A statement that most yacht brokers won't even list such and such a boat saves me the trouble. I printed off about 50 copies of your post, ran them through the shredder, and now have a miraculously fertile mulch that should produce fully ripened tomatoes by mid-April. As an ex yacht broker, (and still working on a daily basis with brokers, surveyors, etc) I must absolutely disagree. No yacht broker who intends to survive in the business will make a sight-unseen evaluation of a potential listing, based solely upon whether the boat has been used under condition A or condition B. If a boat has been offshore and remains undamaged, the offshore experience is unimportant. If the most prestigious trademark on the planet has a fractured hull to deck joint, cracked bulkheads, etc etc etc as a result of offshore abuse, the brand name won't save it. Used boats must be evaluated on an individual basis. Relying too heavily on stereotype and the dockside rumor mill sometimes results in a prospect's failure to consider a well found boat that would be ideal for his or her purposes. More often, it causes a prospective buyer to gloss over survey exceptions and other warnings, as, (after all), what could possibly be incurably wrong with a Brand X? |

Hello Doug,
How are you doing? Nice to hear from you again. I had a fantastic weekend, how about yourself? I came back to many interesting posts, and amongst them I found yours: Doug "The Fresh Toilet King" wrote: kindergarten squabbling Kindergarten? This is very amusing even if it's getting really tiresome to correct your mistakes time after time. Here is the evidence: I posted a question about sailing and you replied with references to toilets. Now, who's the one reverting to Kindergarten behavior? The evidence is there, Doug, indexed by Google for posterity. If you're repeating yourself, you're defeating yourself. You are correct, I was repeating myself. Wasn't sure you had seen it the first time around. And it looks as though you are entertained by toilets. That is very funny Doug... Now it is you who are repeating yourself, thus you have just defeated yourself by your own yardstick :) Tell us again why you're interested in sailing? Well, since you ask, it's hard to say exactly, something about the books I read as a kid and the fact that I've been close to sailboats all my life. There's many reasons why I am interested in sailing, Doug, but instead of elaborating, can you please tell us again why _YOU_ are interested in being rude to other group members? Even if it's "mildly" rude as you admitted yourself? I know that most newsgroups have a few insecure individuals who try to bolster their weak egos by trying to belittle others. That may not be your case, but I am really curious. Can you please elaborate on your true motivation? By the way, I will repeat myself once more so pay close attention. I will assume that overall you are a decent human being. I will assume you regret your snotty opening post. I will assume that you have learned your lesson. I will assume your rude behavior was a knee jerk reaction, brought about by years of infighting on Usenet. Furthermore I will assume that this newsgroup is now a slightly better place because you will be a little less likely to be rude to strangers in the future. I have done my part. I called your bluff and so far you have shown a pretty weak hand. Consider the wonderful information being shared by members such as Frank and Wayne to name a few. That is the true spirit of Usenet coming forth. Many thanks to them and the rest. Bob Whitaker P.S. What do you think of cutter vs sloop vs ketch rigs? I'm going to ask Frank this same question, but I welcome participation from all. Also, nice pictures of you and your wife flying the spinnaker on the Jn-18. And by the way, I'm still curious about what you think of Cape Dorys. DSK wrote in message t... Bob Whitaker wrote: ... Soundly defeating you at your own game is rather entertaining if not very challenging. If you're repeating yourself, you're defeating yourself. And it looks as though you are entertained by toilets. Tell us again why you're interested in sailing? It seems to take a back seat to kindergarten squabbling. DSK |
