The fun is in the uncertainty
When we take boating trips, if everything went according to plan,
there'd be nothing to talk about. You could simply give your pre-trip itinerary and that'd be it, no reason to travel at all. People who actually do stuff know that all the fun is in when things do not go according to plan. This is why I rarely discuss stuff that goes right, why bother. It is when unplanned things happen the fun begins. This is why I always post about crazy stuff that happens and not about how everything went according to plan. In thinking about this, I had a startling revelation, "Some people hate uncertainty" and this realization boggled my mind like finding people who love Nazis or similar. I find myself considering, "People really LIKE things to go exactly as they planned, NO WAY" but I s'pose some people really are like that. I guess there's nothing wrong with that attitude but is alien to me. So, just out of curiosity, which type are you? Do you like stuff to go as planned or is seriously off course good for you? |

Operating a sailing vessel on the open ocean is serious business. If you're looking for wild crazy unpredictible fun... go to Vegas. Reply: Boring life you must lead. Wife and I travel a lot without room reservations. Go to Europe or Central America and only have reservations for the first night or two and then go for a month and if we like an area, stay longer, if not leave in a day or two. Most people can not travel this way. We have met some fun people and seen interesting sights traveling this way. Sure I want the boat and equipment to work 100% but that is a 100% given that it will not be true. Broken axle, exc. Broke an axle in Roseburg, OR on the way to Vancouver Island couple years ago. Met some nice, helpful people, now friends because of the experience. You probably like to go on a cruise or all inclusive resort package, or a guided tour. No creative spirit. And Vegas is very predictable. The casinos have very good mathematicians generating books on the odds of the casino winning in the long run. They did not put those thick carpets on the floor by giving away money. |

Sane people always plan. They don't cast off with torn sails or a near empty fuel tank, or no idea of a heading. Then they want their plans to happen. Everybody - if they're sane. And they also know that plans often go awry and there is always some uncertainty. So your "revelation" is what I'd call "common sense.' No wonder you were startled. You remind of a guy here who had a little leaky propane cannister and spun a tale about how it was going to blow his boat up, so he turned it into a nav hazard to "protect" his boat. Came up with all kinds of wild speculation how the gas would overwhelm his boat even after tossing the cannister into the open sea. Yet at one point he sat for an hour with the cannister at hand, waiting for the tide to turn. Defied common sense. I stopped razzing him because he never said that every time he picked it up it was still leaking, because it was a very slow leak. Figured that's what somebody with no common sense would do. Tell a story that made no sense because he left important parts out. Can't hold that against him. Takes all kinds. |

Harry must be one of the dullest persons to hang around ever. He's such a coward. "The Rime of the Ancient Frogwatch" in which the mariner Frogwatch shoots a Canadian Goose that was pooping on his boat and he is then haunted by PETA and forced to watch videos of naked models in their ads. Must have been a step up for you, since in the real world, no woman worth her gender would want to sail on a little sweatbox like yours, with no air, no hot water, no refrigeration and nothing but peanut butter and oatmeal to eat. Yeah, no one would like a real adventure when they could just sit in their basement all day afraid of everything, coward. The stupid **** sits there attacking each and every post wondering why half the population of America wants to kill him... -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life! Just the idea of some people being on boats is amusing. "Calm down, YES, the boat is s'posed to be leaning, it's called heeling and no we will not tip over". Are you sure? I heard Guam could tip over with too many people on one side and it's a freakin' island! |
