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.

I'm a little more charitable and hope he's out and actually getting
some experience, not that he's likely to do any "lessons learned" posts.

That would be naive not charitable. 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.

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!

You have good instincts and you are correct. Compared to me most of the
others who post here are duffers. Here are my credentials.


1) have lived aboard and cruised extensively since 1985.
2) have a Master license from USCG
3) aged mid-sixties with the mind and body of a 30-year-old
4) never had to be rescued or even close to it
5) never had a boat founder
6) have weathered aboard no fewer than 18 hurricanes and tropical storms
7) have a Ph.D. in English
8) IQ tested in the 145-160 range on standard tests professionally
administered
9) uncommonly handsome
10) three single-handed circumnavigations
11) continue to live aboard and cruise (Allied Seawind 32)
12) never abused illegal recreational drugs, can't abide people who do
13) outspoken and enjoy telling it like it is
14) can't abide wimps, sissies and pretenders like Geoff Schultz, for
example.
15) maintain with conviction that roll-up sails identify any cruiser as lazy
and inept
16) know for a fact that diesels are anathema to sailing
17) know for a fact that women have no place aboard a well-found cruiser
18) can sail circles around anybody who posts to this group
19) have natural 20-20 vision
20) world famous

The subscribers here are so very stupid and ignorant. The things they
discuss are mostly motor related or things they've read on the Internet.
They rarely go anywhere under sail let alone venture offshore. None of these
people live aboard permanently or have the balls to try it. None can anchor
under sail or sail out their anchors. Motor headed mentality is all that's
in evidence here. 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.

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.

Didn't you see the list? Wilbard completed three consecutive single-handed
backward circumnavigations just yesterday. (I won't even go into what he did
with his other hand.)

Never tried sailing backwards. Besides, the Good Captain can sail backwards
into his slip all he wants but I prefer anchoring out. Slips are for women
to wear under their skirts.
