Is Wilbur the only one here with real cruising experience?
That's the impression I get.

@news.alt.net: That's the impression I get. Only if you believe a person who's full of themselves. From what I can tell, his only boat is in his dreams or floats in his bath tub. Wilbur just likes to demean others. While he may have some positives, his negatives well outweigh his positives. What's really sad is how often he squelches meaningful conversations among people who have things to contribute. It's actually been quite pleasant in here lately without his rancor. Let's hope that he's moved to alt.sailing.asa which is much more his style. Of course your monicker makes me suspect that you're another of Wilbur's impersonations and just another sad aspect of the individual. -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org |

He hasn't sailing in several years. I'm sure he has a nice, low-end RV, but given the high cost of fuel probably don't get out much. RR! is just a sockpuppet... hard to tell who's. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

I think that it's great that you're willing to be charitable to someone who has exhibited no charity to anyone else. I'm just not one of those who is willing to extend the same. More power to you! -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org |

None of these people have the guts to speak their mind; they have to couch everything in politically correct terms. Is it any wonder I tend to speak down to subscribers. I can't help it. I stand so far above you all that it's laughable. Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur how was the boat festival in Mahone Bay last year?

See Wilbur's pathetic response in this thread. Do you really think someone so boastful and full of it would fail to provide photos of his boat and descriptions of his travels if anything he said was true? He'll be back here shortly to say that we are too far beneath him to be privy to his travels but this group seems to occupy and inordinate amount of his time. Anyone who actually owned a Swan 68 could afford to hire a webmaster to back up his ravings. Anyone with such an ego would certainly show up plenty of pictures. He's said some things that make me think that he may have had some cruising and sailing experience in the past but his cruising now is pretty clearly limited to trips between his room and the recreation room of whatever facility he is currently in. As they say in Texas, "All hat and no cattle." (Yes, I know you, the OP, are really just Neal / Wilbur in one of his various guises but am responding for the benifit of anyone new here.) -- Roger Long (Old ball cap, couple of cows) |

That's all fine and good Wilbur but Capt Neal can sail his boat backwards
and maneuver it into a slip for the few rare times it is ever necessary. I bet you can't sail backwards. "Wilbur Hubbard" wrote in message ews.com... "Road Rage!" wrote in message ...
