Sweetcheeks, you have your bloomers all wedged up. Lighten up.
Forget
about politics for a while. Tell us about your boating adventure
with
that older couple. After all you signed on here to discuss
boating,
didn't you?
That has to be the most sexist remark ever posted here.
Congratulations Flatulent Jim. You've finally discovered your one
true
talent.
I'm hoping he isn't going to make a corset remark. Sorry, stupid
pun.
It's strange that both you and Donnie find offensive a comment about
bloomers, yet a comment such as the following is acceptable:

"He was the bendover and pick up that soap boy when he was in the
navy."
John, these guys are intellectually dishonest, why bother with them?
Like my friend Joe said years ago.. "There are givers and takers in
this
world, these guys are takers"... Guys like this have no useful
qualities
in society..
I didn't say anything to Harry. He picked up on a comment I made to
Bloomers.
SORRY SIR!!!

I will drop and give you 20... uh, would you settle for say, 10 ??

snerk
I can remember when I could drop and do 20 in a heartbeat. Probably
couldn't do it any more. I just tried. Made it to 7. Whew.

I can do 10 pushups... no problem (yes, without using my knees). I can't
do pullups though. I get about 3/4 of the way and that's it.


Yabut. Can you clean fish?



Yeah, but why would I want to when I can buy it cleaned in a store?

It's what lured you to this special newsgroup, Isn't it.



Sometimes I wonder. I was actually interested in getting back to doing
some sailing, and I have this outing coming up next weekend.

Speaking of which, I know about layering. Do I need to wear something
special as far as footware goes? I know not to wear something that'll
scuff the deck, but should I go buy some boots or would tennis shoes do?

If you plan on sailing frequently, I'd pick up a pair of boating shoes.
the non-slip soles and the non-marking feature make them worthwhile.
You probably don't need the $200. version some here like.....
http://ca.binnacle.com/index.php?cPath=15_379
I'm sure you can do better price wise down there.


I found some one the west marine website. I'm thinking about it, but I don't
sail that often. Looks like they have some for about $50, but they don't
have laces? That's odd.

Tennis shoes should be fine. Although, if you really want to impress, get
a pair of cheap boat shoes, for your feet of course, and a cotton
fishermans knit sweater to tie around your waist. Forget the white cap
with patent leather brim and crossed anchor emblem. That's just too
lubbery. Have fun and come back and tell us old salts all about it. ;-)



I have a bunch of ski clothes, so I think I'll just bring layers. My feet
get cold pretty easily, so I might just spring for the $50 boots.

I don't know how big the boat is but bring extra socks in a dry sack,
and a pair of boots in the bag wouldn't hurt either. I wear the Nike
Mesh Sandals, look and fit like sneakers, dry like sandals.. Many
manufacturers are carrying them now, I recommend them to everybody...

Something like this:
http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/pr...ductId=2823706
&cp=2367438.2367454.2866814.2866816

or look through these for the "sneaker styles"..

http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/fa...goryId=2867041

I love the support and footing these provide on the boat, or walking in
and around shallow water.

Good luck, and tell us the tales of the sea when you get back..


I think it's a Ranger 33. It sounds nice, and they know a lot about sailing,
so it should be fun! I like the idea about extra socks. I was just going to
put a couple of extra pairs in a big ziplock.

You're talking about the jerk who yelled in the joint session? He's a
known
liar on several levels and he supported keeping the Confederate flag
flying.


Robert Byrd did the same kind of stuff, and he supported hangings.

So, that makes Wilson's behavior ok? Sounds like some kind of rationale?


What does Wilson's 'support' of flying the Confederate flag have to do
with his telling the truth? Talk about rationale.

The big question is whether or not you 'get it' yet? If not, sorry. If
so, then nothing further is necessary.

Here's some really good advice:

Call the folks with whom you'll be sailing. Ask *them* what they
prefer you to wear and what would provide enough warmth.

They probably have some good ideas.
