Cod Almighty - August 22
In Cod We Trust, Bob They caught nearly all the cod in the North Sea. There are not enough left to justify attempts to catch them. On the subject of cod, there was the Danish fisherman who caught a blind cod. He felt sorry for it and threw it back. Every day for a month he threw it back. Finally he took it ashore to an aquarium. Casady I don't get it. Was that a joke? The North Sea cod are gone and that is no joke. And the story about the blind fish was told as truth. Casady The North seas stocks of cod are not in good condition but they are far from "Gone". They are still be commercially overfished which is not a good thing but they are not gone. Gordon |

My Polka wife tells me you're wrong. But I speak Polish well enough to already know that. Anyway Miss Manners, ain't you PC. Go have a drink - and watch what you put in your pocket. --Vic |

I don't normally respond to Wilbur, but in this one case, as others
may have wondered, I will: "Wilbur Hubbard" wrote in message anews.com... Comments interspersed. What's with this parenthetical crap talking down to people as if they were totally ignorant of sailing terms. Did you learn it from that other wannabe Zac? Get a clue. There are few things more ludicrous than newbies trying to educate others who are even more clueless. I have several clues - and clews, for that matter. However, what you see here is also from my log, which goes to many non-sailors, and even many non-boaters. I trust you'll indulge me the courtesy of allowing me not to have to edit my logs for each and every place they appear :{)) We now return you to your regular programming... -- L8R Skip Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !

(Richard Bach, in The Reluctant Messiah) "Skip Gundlach" wrote in message ... Cod Almighty - August 22 We sailed off our mooring in Portland in the endings of a mild Nor'wester on Wednesday morning at about 9AM. We'd timed our departure to take advantage of the falling tide, and got a nice lift as we exited the Portland approach lanes. The winds were piping at 18-25 knots NW, with gusts to 30, so we put in a single reef at the mooring, and sailed on the main only until the expected dying wind. Way undercanvassed for the mild winds. Totally unbalanced sailplan for the conditions. Flying Pig stood up and single-reef sailed along very comfortably in moderate seas. snip One would hope any sailboat would 'stand up' under a shortened main. Duh! That's very good, because even very experienced sailors sometimes never shake their seasickness (Lin Pardey comes to mind; she's regularly seasick, despite her world-girdling experience and longevity at sea, along with several publications about heavy weather); if she can get past that, she'll be far more effective on watch... People who are chronically seasick should find something else to do other than boating. snip Following my repair of the rot in the Vee, the area of support of the staysail reinforcing cable securing the cabin roof from flexing, I also slacked the babystay (inner forestay for the staysail) so that the mast wasn't deformed as it had been before, and we had a marvelous cutter-rigged (genoa and inner foresail) run in about 10 knots of apparent wind and brilliant sunshine. All signs pointed to our having pretty well tweaked the standing rigging (the stainless steel wires which keep the mast in place), and the boat balanced marvelously. snip Wilbur Hubbard |
