I read Eisboch asking about Marcus recently. Is he one of them?

I guess Skipper would be numero uno on this list..........correct?

Basskisser hands down. His intellect knows no bounds.

I'd put Karen second on that list - the woman is brilliant.

Oh wait, you said no longer here.

Hmmmm.....

Bassy will always be a legend of his own (fill in the blank).

And he is and always will be *our* Bassy. ;-)

I don't know about Skipper, but I think one of the funniest, long running
threads ever posted on this NG was the great bilge pump debate between
Marcus and Mrs. B. I forget who Mrs B. was but I remember she submitted a
picture of a weird, Rube Goldberg type contraption as her "boat" on the
original "Boats of Rec.Boats" website.

I vote for JimH. He is the most lying, untruthful, nasty little guy
here. He'll stop at nothing to try and make himself look like something
special, including spreading lies and untruthful allegations about your
wife, and your family.

Marcus was very knowledgeable, but he wasn't an unusual or charismatic
character. He was just a really nice guy.

Skipper was unusual, to say the least. But we've had a lot of unusual
posters here. The weirdest has to be Crazy Larry, the resident
schizophrenic.

What about that crazy Thai who was stalking you, Harry? What was his name?

I was responsible for that one. At that time, the Bayliner fishing boat
sides wobbled if you pressed into them with your hand.

Ah, but Skipper corrected you. They were purpose-built and supposed to
flex.

follow the Genesee River to the NYS Barge Canal. The only problem is
that he overlooked some minor navigational impediments:

Hehehehe I remembered you started that thread Harry. It had to be the

propell Skipper into wrecked.boats legend :-) love him or not..

The Genessee is a very nice river, and it does have a
channel leading from the canal north into town, but that
channel stops at about the south border of the university
IIRC. Standing on the university foot bridge, you can see
the old dam (looks like about a 15' drop) and then turn to
look the other way at the scenic falls. No way to get a boat
thru there, not even a kayak.

My favorite JAX-ism was the "dangerous rocks" at Cape Hattaras.


He still swore it was the right way to go after about 5 explanations

That was part of "his' charm. Jax was NEVER wrong! I just
hope no lurkers or googlers ever took any of his advice
seriously.

I know, he never posted a picture of himself in his underwear.... I
guess that is worth *some* credit...

Here are some of my favorite Jaxisms: (direct quotes from his posts)

"By definition, the Earth's surface is planar."
"An ICBM has no navigation system."
"There's no outside reference when using DR to navigate."
"It costs $15,000/year to make 10gals of water/day with a shipboard
watermaker."
"You must use an isp to read a usenet newsgroup."
"The human head can take about a 7 G blow before death becomes
certain."
"A rhumb line is a straight line on any chart, Mercator chart (sic) or
otherwise."
"A rhumb is distance between two points one compass point apart."
"Alternators are (for all practical purposes) capable of only
producing one voltage, no matter the rpm."
"If you can see outside reference points, then you KNOW where you
are..."
"There is no such thing as a north seeking gyro."

Classic
