In this case, Harry is correct in enjoying the other boater's misfortune.

I can safely say that being considerate of other boaters involves an
extra effort of EXACTLY ZERO. Anyone who does NOT do it needs to learn,
and for some people, misfortune is the only way to learn.

Or, to put it another way, the only correct set of boating manners is the
one practiced by ME. Anything outside of that set indicates intent to do
harm.

This is not debatable. Isn't that nice?


I have to admit, "Joe," that you are far more tolerant of the newsgroup
idiots than I ever have been. And I thought Herringbrain was getting back
into boating.

He's not worth much effort. As the old saying goes, you can't turn a pig's
rectum into a Ferrari. Or something like that.


See what I mean?

I don't know.

I confess, I haven't read many of the posts here for the last couple of
months. With Mrs. E's blessings, I've spent many more hours on the boats
this summer than I have at home and I don't bother with an Internet
connection on them.

Unfortunately, Labor Day is a reminder that the remaining days are
numbered, and the "honey-do" list has now turned into a two book volume.

I like your airplane. My boat isn't quite big enough to land my plane on.
But, the future is coming!

Had a roommate in 1964 who served on the USS Bon Homme Richard during the
Typhoon Nancy cruise. He said there was green water rolling down the deck.
Bent the catwalks and forward elevator. Big waves. Maybe even bigger than
9'.

Actually yes at times. As long as now one is injured. Couple of years ago,
bunch of us anchored up at Verona where the Feather river enters the
Sacramento river. Group in an about 22' I/O cuts right though the anchored
up flotilla and slides about 200' across a sandbar that is about 400' yards
wide at the mouth of the Feather, and has about 6" of water flowing over it.
We all had a laugh and no one offered a tow. His Karma got run over
quickly.

Anyone here who frequents the ICW in north Florida knows the bar of
which I speak. It's immediately north of St. Augustine Inlet, and if you
are heading north towards the "new bridge" there and don't stay close to
the eastern shore, you'll hit it:

If you're not going fast, it's a soft landing. At low tide, a lot of us
used to beach on it and play volleyball, especially if the fishing was slow.

Has Herring indicated when he's getting his boat?

Have you lost the ability to ask a direct question? Do you need to be
ridiculous to support your contention that you have folks 'filtered'?

It's an old north eastern tradition.

There has also been a very long tradition in rec.boats of taking
differences of opinion directly to ridiculous personal remarks.

I disagree with people rather frequently. I'm quite often but not

quick to back into the corner of "you're a thus and such" when an
opinion is questioned or challenged.

If my opinion is wrong, I would expect to be told why that opinion is
wrong rather than endure some tedious third-person version of "he's

(guilty sometimes) is a different issue that whether or not an opinion
has merit.

And that's you in a nut shell.

Duly noted.

Chuck is never wrong.

Do me a favor Chuck. Next time you place a thread about a map or
obscure Chinese navigator and somebody, like me, enters into a
discussion with some evidence that, well like pirate flags, directly
and authoritatvely kind of makes you incorrect (because you are never
wrong), just ignore it.

Like you usually do.

Chuck is so...tedious.

Yesterday, I mentioned to him I could not find his "magazine's" web
page. In response, I got, what, a 75-word rationalization that look like
it had been worked over by Karl Rove's third assistant. That, instead of
Chuck just stating, "We don't have one." The publication, by the way, is
one of a number put out by a Canadian publisher of "shoppers."

WooHoo, that's pretty funny considering the source.

Allow me to post some pictures of the latest oil change on the 6-71s.

Fascinating process.

Wayne,
Please take some poorly composed photos to prove you actually used your
boat. Make sure you include a before and after photo of your hour meter.

If you have any 51 ft. Hatteraus you can include that, or a 36 ft.
lobster boat.
