Then I'll have to decide whether to boat on the largest freshwater lake around here... or explore either of two beautiful ocean bays...St. Margaret's or Mahone Bay.
Winds are supposed to be light.. although from the South, so hopefully it won't be too rough for the wife.


Who cares.. you can't even do a boat post without being a punk bitch...
Hope your little punt sinks...

Off your meds again?

My guess is that PsychoSnotty is a participant in some kiddie motorbike
racing discussion group where he's insulted so many other posters that
someone said to him, "hope your kid buys it in the next race," and that
he's just using that sort of insane response in here.

That is, if the kid is still racing. He hasn't posted much about the
kid's success or lack of same in some time.

Why would he? Just to let a sociopathic asshole like you respond?

You and cockhole are both quite a pair of turds

Jessica is just coming back from an injury. Yesterday was her first time
on a big bike in a few months and she is still just rolling laps. She
will not be ready for the Una****indilla National in two weeks but may
be ready for the Kawasaki Race of Champions a month down the line...
Last year she took 8th of 40 in the three day womens Amateur National at
UnaFucin'dilla...

Exactly...

At the same time our lives are being re-tooled.. The dream of racing in
the WMA (Womens Pro Racing Sanctioning Body) tragically ended for
Jessica about a month ago without warning when for all practical
purposes, the WMA has disintegrated into a possibility of no races next
season. It may return in a year or two under new direction (or old
direction actually) but for now, it's not there.

We have been reconsidering our gear, training, and future as "the dream"
no longer exists, but we are working on a new one. Jessica will peruse a
new course in the Amateur Nationals and possibly in other areas such as
MotoGPX or X-Games style endurocross... go racing with the boys again....

The new color scheme for the bike this season is ... na, na, na, na, na,
na, na, na, BATMAN! Black on Yellow, insaneoooo...

Then I'd be "in the same boat" as you, little man...
No...wait a minute, yours didn't sink.. that finely crafted vessel rotted away on your front lawn.

Here's a bit of advice for an unseasoned boater. Instead of buying an
expensive, high failure rate gizmo that you don't really need, buy a
half dozen 12" diam. fenders to protect the houses, on either side of
your driveway, from your boat.

You and FlaJim should combine forces and sponsor Turds Motorbike Racing.
Jim could be the wrench and you could be the wench.

Why bother, not worth the money in my opinion (and experience). As
others have said, you just need a little practice setting it up for
different conditions. There is no one trim setting that is right all
of the time. The big variables are sea state, boat loading, wind
direction, speed, etc. After a while you can a feel for what bow
angle works best for different conditions and then you adjust the trim
to achieve that angle.

I like having my trim gauge though it really doesn't matter much for
when you are under way. But, my type of fishing, I sometimes have to
raise the motor to keep from scraping bottom. When I get ready to fire
it up and leave, the gauge reminds me to lower it!
