Well since I have a 50 grt NC license does that mean you got to do
what I say **** just wait till I get my 90 days approp recency
tonnage in a few months and get the 100 ton. Then Ill really be an
asshole...... ya think Ill start sounding just like that kno it all
on the ill fated Red Clown.....?


If you start sounding like the Red Clown, know-it-all,
yellow-stripe-up-his-back blowhard, who has proven he just doesn't have what
it takes, you'll have to learn how to make realistic fart sounds on command.
It's called blowin' in the wind. Bwaahahahhahahahahhhhahah!

Even Skippy is a better sailor than Joe. At least he hasn't abandoned his
boat (yet) for no valid reason. A fake sprained ankle and lots whining, fear
and trepidation because of borderline gale force winds and smallish waves of
ten to fifteen feet does not a valid reason make. Such things are mere
routine sailing conditions to us real and experienced sailors. But, then
again, real and experienced sailors don't chose weak and inept females as
working crew on a commercial venture.

To lean about sailing always listen to a wanna-be**** head who has
never sailed.

Slight subject-change:

Years ago, we had a raging war about "Bumfuzzle", a couple of
20-somethings on an admittedly-inferior cat. They were castigated for
having only a bit of time on 16' dinks and a quick trip through the
Bahamas before turning right.

Just found their site again, read their logs, and discovered that
they'd actually completed the trip a couple of years ago. No major
breakdowns of crew or boat, no pirates. Things broke, they fixed them.
Needed to get somewhere, they got there or a viable alternative. They
broke all the cruising rules, but did the trip they wanted, saw the
sights they wanted.

I'd say they're better sailors than those that sat in their armchairs
and criticized them.
