Well, I am so stupid, at first I thought that was a map of the west
coast of Florida, and I am going, well it looks like he is boating to
me.

You'd better stick to small shallow lakes...where you can't get lost.
Don,

Not only have I lived on 3 continents. I have been boating and sailing
all over, including lakes smaller than Lanier, all the Great Lakes,
except for Superior, the Atlantic and the Caribbean. While I have done
out on charter boats in the Pacific, I have never been at the helm when
boating in the Pacific. I actually have been boating up and down the
coast of NS, we went out about 100 miles off the coast of NS, sailing
from Sidney to Halifax. I found Halifax to be a quaint town, nice
downtown tourist area, very clean, and the people were very polite and
helpful. I would guess either your online persona has nothing to do
with the way you behave in the real world, or you are a social outcast
in Halifax. If I had to bet, I would go with social outcast.

Hee hee... better find someone like Looneytunes to buy your bull
When I posted some local pictures last year, you commented that you like
to see photos of areas you haven't been to.
plus...why would anyone go one hundred miles offshore when sailing from
Sydney to Halifax?
I'm trying to decide if you sound more like the old Skipper..... or that
Teabag character on the recent 'Prison Break series.
Guess again, I spent a week in Halifax Harbor. The only pictures I
remember you publishing was of you on a lake, but I don't remember making
any comment about the pictures at all.

I moored at a private facility that had buoy's located in a Southern
Finger of the Harbor (or at least it seemed to be south). It was devoted
to pleasure boating, versus commercial ships. The water taxi (it was
blue, with red seats and white trim, would pick us up, and drop us off at
a the service area. I am pretty sure the water taxi was included in the
buoy fees, but we would tip the guy. A large white metal service
building with a fairly large boat lift. It looked like it could service a
25 ft. sailboat without dropping the mast. There were a number of sailors
who raced in the Wed. Night Beer Can races who kept their boat there, but
they were the smaller J-22 type boats. It was in June, and the Beer Can
Races had not even started yet. They were all out their getting their
boats ready. Next door, was an old fancy yachting club that looked like
it was built 100 yrs ago, yet was in fairly good shape. They had decent
meals at reasonable prices, but it had a very "old money" look to it. Out
back of the Yacht club, they had a small swimming pool, but it really did
not look like it had been used in years and was in bad shape. Most of the
people eating in the restaurant were old as dirt, and I doubt if they had
been sailing in decades. The yacht club was hosting a big regatta and
was selling T-Shirts a few weeks before the regatta, which surprised me.
I think it was the Marblehead to Halifax Race, but I could be wrong. The
General Managers office was on the 2nd floor, the stairs were against the
far wall, closest to the harbor, and looked like a combination office and
storage space. She was sorting out the tshirts by size and double
checking the order. It was hard to believe that the GM was doing such
simple work, it seemed like a poor utilization of talent. We walked about
a mile to 1.5 miles towards town to buy some boating supplies from an
independent marine supply house to buy some electronic equipment. Our
depth finder was giving us crazy readings. It was a fairly small shop,
not much bigger than a small convenience store, but he could order the
supplies and get them in a few days.

When we took a taxi to downtown, they had the normal restaurants on the
harbor, but they had recently closed off a number of streets in the
downtown area so it would be like a large mall. I talked to some locals
who said I had to come back for a "pub crawl", where a group of people
would stumble from one bar to the next all night long. It seems like your
son is not the only person in Halifax who enjoys getting loaded.

From memory, the reason we took such a long leg to get from Sydney to
Halifax had to do with a combination of the wind direction and some bad
reef you have in between Sydney to Halifax. Instead of beating into the
wind, and making frequent tacks, and getting into the reef's, we just made
it one long leg to avoid some place the harbor master in Sydney warned us
about. I remember a large rock outcropping that he told us to stay clear
of, but the real danger was the shallow rocks that surrounded the area.
I thought it was funny, the harbor master referred to it as "The Graveyard
of the Atlantic", but I had always heard the area off of the Outer Banks
to be called the Graveyard of the Atlantic. I thought it was a Canadian
trying to impress us. I can remember your TINY dolphins riding out bow
wave, about half the size of the dolphins I was used to. I commented this
to one of the locals and he jokingly said, OOHHHHH yeah, everything is
bigger in the US.

So as with most things, you are wrong.

You are quite the pompous prick.
If you really were here, your description would be of the Royal Nova Scotia
Yacht Squadron...the oldest yacht club in North America......although only
at the current location for about 40 years.
It's swimming and new wading pool are well used every year and this club is
considered the best in Atlantic Canada.
BTW the Graveyard of the Atlantic refers to Sable Island...which is a
couple hundred miles east south east of Halifax
The pictures you commented on were taken in St. Margarets Bay and Mahone
Bay.
Better get back to your Googling and see what else you can distort.



See if you can Google up where the GM's office is in the RNSYS, and
where the steps leading up the office are located.

Since it was only June, I guess your swimming season had not started
yet, so it still had not been cleaned, or maybe to you, that was a good
pool.

Yes, but have you rounded the Horn in a 12 foot dinghy when your
Zimmerman lobster boat sank fighting 100 foot seas and 200 mph winds
arriving in New York to a fire boat welcome being towed by a pod of
Orcas that you personally trained after repelling pirates and fending
off a 27 foot Great White shark who mistook your boat for a seal?

Oh, did I forget to mention that? ;)

Well yes - you did.

But I'll bet you never sailed to Hawaii on a inflatable kiddie pool
using a sail made of woven kelp leaves and hung on a telephone pole
you found floating half way after you got tired of battling a Pacific
typhoon and giant waves by way of Japan dressed only in a Speedo
feeding youself along the way using fine German screwdrivers bent into
hooks to catch giant Green Marlin and Blue Whales arriving to dancing
dolphins who sang in a language only you could understand while
rainbows flooded the sky with light as a beautiful Polynesian Princess
took your virginity at the age of 12 in celebration of your incredible
adventure.

Did I ever tell you about the time I was attacked by a Tostito?

Or was that a Dorito?

I am not sure, but it was one angry salty snack.

Lay's Classic potato chips - those things are dangerous.

They sneak up on you with mind control - you can't eat just one.

There's a poster here who is much too modest to admit this, but once
he built a boat out of stale Cheetos - sails, boat, masts, stays -
everything and sailed it to Antarctica to save a party of German
explorers who lost all their fine screwdrivers and BMW snowmobiles
all the time making observations of the natural behavior of penguins
which was made in a Oscar winning movie - "Penguins - Not in
Madagascar" while authoring a best selling auto-biography in his spare
time - "A Fireboat Welcomes Me".

Manic asshole are two words that come to mind.

Humor impaired comes to mind.

You are probably right, but I had been ignoring Don, and i just felt it
was time to slap him upside the head. It really isn't fair to have a
battle of the wits with an unarmed man. So I apologize.

Along with his many other faults...Waylon is a bald-faced liar.
The only things I said about my son was in a jovial 'what can you do with
them' kind of comments about him buying his favourite brand of beer for my
fathers Day present last year..... and then his drinking of same.
Over the years he may have drank the equivalent of a case of my beer from my
fridge.
Waylon is taking the usual crap from the likes of DK, LooneyTunes, JustHate
etc and re-gurgitated it as gospel.
My son has turned out quite well...liked and respected at his place of work
and promoted over 10 other applicants, some with much longer experience.
He'll do fine.
