Try harder Wilbur, this one was patheticly transparent

It doesn't seem to matter as long as he has plenty of people (of his
own invention) to talk to.

Pathetic.

Do you think the OP was Neal? If so, he finally snookered me.

No doubt. It is one of his classics to justify his meager existance on
a small little boat welded to a chain attached to an old chevy engine
block.

The guy makes Sybil look perfectly normal.

FYI, Neal is no longer on his boat. Sad, but true. At least then, he had a
some claim as a "liveaboard."

Remembering his web site, it was actually quite nice (other than the color
selections) for a small little boat. His original personna and I do share
one philosophy, have a small and managable boat and make it the way you want
instead being a slave to too much boat and too many systems.

Too bad he didn't do more with the boat. Given his ego, I'm sure we would
have seen pictures if he'd ever managed a cruise to anyplace interesting. I
doubt his existance is so grand as being on a mooring at this point. His
net presence is too 24/7 not to have a permanent Internet connection. I'm
fairly sure now that the boat on the web site was real even if the crew
wasn't and that he picked up quite a bit of boating and cruising knowledge,
even if he didn't make much use of it. It would take something much more
definitive than over the top boasting though to convince me that he didn't
lose the boat about the same time the web site disappeared and is now
"cruising" from some sort of institution or shelter with free web terminals.

Sad, really, he could have taken that boat some interesting places.

I should talk. I'm here typing on a beautiful Maine day, checking on some
work stuff and waiting for my son to return from a summer job hunt. We'll
be sailing later in the day though. My other son and I are then going to
spend Friday - Tuesday on the boat.

I saw it. Neal use to be somewhat respected among mariners.
And he had a few things positive going on. IIRC he even sat for a 5
ton Capt. ticket.

Me thinks he caught the clap, and now his brain is rotting like
Hitlers did in his last days.

The Good Captain Neal is still very much respected among mariners. His
accomplishments are legion. His Master Mariner ticket is the highest and
most coveted of any seaman. Proof he http://www.badongo.com/pic/3853394

He e-mails me from time to time and I forward him a large box of his fan
mail. The last box I sent to Cape Town, South Africa. He's going round again
or those are his current plans at least.

Had the skipper of the lost "Red Cloud" procured the services of the Good
Captain on that ill-fated coffee run the Red Cloud would have never
foundered. He's sailed through many a tropical cyclone so some short-lived
little Gulf cold front he would have taken in stride even in a less than
seaworthy such as Red Cloud.

What French Legion?

I bet it is to a seaman, but to the Captains out there it is a leaners
permit for a tiny boat. Neal's so pathetic no one would hire him, so
his ticket is useless and by now expired.

I know a fellow who has a Masters degree in electrical engineering but
works as a fireman

He e-mails me from time to time and I forward him a large box of his fan

Sure thing Nealbur, and I bet he has one hand tied behind his back
too...right? And he's on a 68 ft Swan named Chippawa just like your
Swan named Chippawa .

Pathetic

My Fellow Marinier:

I can not agree with your opinion that Neal's "...Master Mariner
ticket is the highest and
most coveted of any seaman...."

I do not belive a 25 GRT NCW license supports your claim regardless if
it his 2nd Issue. To paraphrase the USCG licensing site, one day sea
service over 5 GRT will qualify you for a 25 GRT license. So the the
guy self certified he had 360 days NC in 18' skiff and one day getting
drunk on a friend's 6 GRT stinkpot. Not what I would call "most
coveted" nor capable ability............................ :/

And there is Wilbur, The Old Man of the Sea, The Master Mariner, the
individual who specifies the correct length of a set of oars was
"short enough to fit in the boat" and many other gems of nautical
wisdom.

Too bad you have never been in a boat. Maybe you would have learned a
tiny bit about sailing and instead of being the buffoon of RBC you
might be able to scale the heights of being "someone who is not too
bright". Far above being referred to as "Wilbur the Dummy".

Say, for instance, if you had said that "oars should be long enough to
reach the water", people would have thought, "well, he isn't the
brightest light on the Christmas tree" instead of "Stupid old Wilbur
done did it again". One thing I'll give you credit for though. You
really work at being stupid. Nobody could be as dumb as you are
without a tremendous amount of effort.



A fool who knows his foolishness is wise
at least to that extent, but a fool who
thinks himself wise is a fool indeed.
