Whatever. I don't talk about the size of my boat's fuel tank, or what

out of that sort of stuff, either.


Wayne happens to have a larger boat that he and his wife use often,
extensively and enjoy. It has to be big to do the extended cruising
that he does.

Whatever.

Is it "bragging" to you because you're not involved in boating the way
he is? Are you jealous of his cruising experience and nautical
knowledge?

Nope. There's nothing about W'hine repetitive destinations or slo-mo
mode of travel to go long distances that appeals to me.


Seems that way. You're critical of his type of boat, it's size, his
ports of call, the pictures he shares, his ability to make emergency
repairs, maintenance ... pretty much anything to do with his chosen
lifestyle.

I think W'hine is an asshole. It really has nothing to do with his boat.
He behaves badly in here, and you give him a pass, just like you give
your developmentally disabled buddy, FlaJim a pass. You're entitled to
do as you wish in here, and I'm entitled to believe W'hine and FlaJim
are flaming assholes.





Perhaps if you weren't so constantly critical of others and their
interests (if they don't coincide with yours) you would be received
more warmly.

The only way that might happen would be if I were brainwashed and turned
into an ardent teabagging racist.

Thanks for the kind words. In that spirit I will offer up a boating
adventure that we had today, one that is almost in Harry's back yard
but not quite. As most of you know we are in the process of bringing
the trawler north for the summer. The day before yesterday we were
in the vicinity of Beaufort, NC and thinking about how we would
proceed from there. The traditional route is up through Albemarle
Sound, into the North River, past Coinjock Marina and on up through
something called the "Virginia Cut" into Norfolk at the southern end
of Chesapeake Bay. Having done that a number of times, and having
always been intrigued by stories about the Great Dismal Swamp, we
decided to divert to Elizabeth City, NC and take the alternate route.

After anchoring just south of there last night, we proceeded north
this morning up the beautiful Pasquotank River which leads eventually
to a lock at South Mills, NC. The lock lifts you up 8 feet into the
southern end of the Dismal Swamp Canal. The canal runs adjacent to
the east side of the Great Dismal Swamp which is a vast wilderness
area originally surveyed by George Washington early in his career.
Although many parts of the canal are very scenic the overall
experience is somewhat marred by the traffic noise coming from route
17 just to the east. There is also a lot of dead, submerged timber
which presents a hazzard to deep draft boats. We stopped counting
log strikes after a while but it was at least 20 - hopefully no damage
but it will take another day or two of runnning before we'll know for
sure. Stay tuned. Meanwhile we'll head into Norfolk tomorrow
morning, past the vast array of navy ships which are docked there, and
on up into Chesapeake Bay.

Didn't he brag about the fine Corinthian leather on one of his faux(?)
boats?

Nope. Never had a boat with Corinthian leather, never claimed to...yet
another example of your inability to process.
