Boredom, politics and boats
 

Does anybody keep track of the days of the week when we post the most
politics relative to boating posts? I would guess, without any
evidence, that as the weekend approaches, we get more boating posts
and also get more on a Monday following a weekend of boating? During
the week with everybody not boating it becomes political. The obvious
solution would be longer weekends. However, for you retired guys,
just go boating more so you have something to say.

Hey I got invited to sail on Oct. 3rd. It's a ranger something. I'll find
out more in a couple of days.

Are you going with a guy who's a Ranger? Be careful.

Where will this sailing trip take place?

The boat is a Ranger. The guy is an old friend. I'm always careful.

On the water... duhh..

It'll probably be out of Santa Cruz. I'll be out that way on business, so
it'll work.

Nom: Remember, the things you pull on are not "ropes", they are
"sheets" or "Halyards" depending on which ones. The whole point of
having you sit "on the rail" is not to balance the boat but to get you
soaking wet so he can see how you look in a wet t-shirt (I've tried
that one).

I guess you missed the part about my part ownership of a boat. So, they're
sheets or halyards. Does that mean when someone doesn't know the ropes,
they're not a sailor? I'm familar with rail meat and getting soaked and that
works, sort of. He's not that kind of friend.

I hate all that nautical terminology but some people like to toss it
around. It's Right and Left fer gods sake. Every time somebody says
"Port" or "Starboard" I have to stop and think, "OK, I used to have
them reversed in my mind so which one is which now". Sheets, Halyards,
for gods sake its a friggin rope.

Now this sounds like a political or religious point of view! My friend told
me that port is easy because it's the same number of letters as left. Also,
I like port (wine). I did get in trouble one for asking him "what's this
thing do" and pointing in the general direction of a bunch of ropes. He had
that annoying tone in his voice... "you have to be a bit more specific you
stupid winch." (Ok, I made up the last part)

Does anybody keep track of the days of the week when we post the
most
politics relative to boating posts? I would guess, without any
evidence, that as the weekend approaches, we get more boating
posts
and also get more on a Monday following a weekend of boating?
During
the week with everybody not boating it becomes political. The
obvious
solution would be longer weekends. However, for you retired guys,
just go boating more so you have something to say.
Hey I got invited to sail on Oct. 3rd. It's a ranger something.
I'll
find
out more in a couple of days.
Are you going with a guy who's a Ranger? Be careful.
Where will this sailing trip take place?
The boat is a Ranger. The guy is an old friend. I'm always careful.
On the water... duhh..
It'll probably be out of Santa Cruz. I'll be out that way on
business,
so
it'll work.

Nom: Remember, the things you pull on are not "ropes", they are
"sheets" or "Halyards" depending on which ones. The whole point of
having you sit "on the rail" is not to balance the boat but to get you
soaking wet so he can see how you look in a wet t-shirt (I've tried
that one).
Sorry, this is Frogwatch on Katies computer, actually its mine but she
gets on this group of 13 yr old girls who discuss "The Warrior Cat"
books.

I hate all that nautical terminology but some people like to toss it
around. It's Right and Left fer gods sake. Every time somebody says
"Port" or "Starboard" I have to stop and think, "OK, I used to have
them reversed in my mind so which one is which now". Sheets, Halyards,
for gods sake its a friggin rope.


Now this sounds like a political or religious point of view! My friend
told me that port is easy because it's the same number of letters as
left. Also, I like port (wine). I did get in trouble one for asking him
"what's this thing do" and pointing in the general direction of a bunch
of ropes. He had that annoying tone in his voice... "you have to be a bit
more specific you stupid winch." (Ok, I made up the last part)

You might have been pointing to a belaying pin.


If I knew what that was.....

Used to tie off a sheet, halyard, or line. It isn't likely you will see
one on your upcoming sailing adventure, though.
