Oh.....I just found this site:

Peter and Jan Whiting are taking the NW 42 down the Pacific Coast.
They're almost to Oregon, and headed to San Diego.

Anybody intersted in how this boat handles in rough weather can check
the blog......this time of year they will have *plenty* of gnarly
weather to deal with. Coastal forecast for Thursday is calling for
sustained winds of 40 knots with higher gusts........("Auntie Em!")


Nice looking boat and interesting design. Interestingly, this is the second
time in the past week that I've heard about articulating rudders. The first
was with a very experienced sailboater and boat builder here at Kingman.

I realize that the NW 42 is a new trawler type boat design but I am not sure
I am ready to accept the radar arch instead of a traditional mast. The
arch is probably more functional and convenient, but it just doesn't look
right to me on this type of boat.

I agree.

"Getting there" on a powerboat to me is not as interesting as "being
there." That's especially true in the middle of the relatively
featureless body of water. I can appreciate that others might like the
nothingness of it. I hate flying long distances, but once I get to an
interesting locale, I typically like it a lot. In other words, I view
the vehicle as a means to an end. I don't much like driving the
Interstate highways, either, but sometimes I like where they lead.


Understood. There are many who share your preference. That does not mean,
however, that those of us that enjoy the voyage as well are screwed up.

I don't recall saying or implying you were screwed up.

It's a lifting handle, silly.

Have you noticed that you seem to thrill on using high school
insults, yet they only thing I have ever done is point out the
obvious inconsistencies in your many insults and statements.

So do you see many rodents up your way. I hope you finally took my
suggestion and allow your wildlife to eat a healthy. natural varied
diet, and have stopped feeding them your table scraps.



Once again, "reggie," I have no more interest in your advice or
questions than I would in a dog turd I walked around on the sidewalk,
other than noticing the smell was about the same.

Then why did you ask me about lake lanier rodents?

I think it needs nose art. Plenty of room on the bow for a really neat
painting... or even a decal;)

The most wonderful news in the entire report, as I'm installing
wires into a Jeanneau sloop at the moment where the a$$holes that
put in the radar didn't take the time to install some pull
strings, dammit.

NEVER PULL A WIRE WITHOUT INSTALLING A PULL STRING FOR NEXT TIME!

Amen to that. I'm planning on installing a fresh-water washdown pump in
my center console, and was pleasantly surprised to see extra pull
strings coming out of electrical rigging tube in the console. One goes
to the bow and two go to the transom area. I won't need them for the
pump, but if I want to run wiring between the transom or bow and the
center console, I'll be able to do it without more trouble than I need.

If I ever have a single screw boat built to my specifications
it will very likely include an articulating rudder.



Thanks for the post, Chuck. Nice boat.

I apologize to you, also. It doesn't take Acid Krause and company
long to trash anything about boats.

I have no idea why you took Waylon out of your bozo bin.
Did you actually think he was going to change for the better??

As I see his little word game comments through your answers to him... I
congratulate myself on my decision to flush him out of my bilge.
Peggy Hall might have recommended treating this discharge though before
polluting our fair waterways.

Actually, the bozo bin is on hiatus, and has been since I decided to
flush out my Thunderbird application in favor of a fresh install of the
latest beta, which no longer is a beta. When I cleaned out the old
T'bird files, the only thing I saved were email addresses and some
"stored" email.

Reading the first of Reggie's posts a couple of weeks ago was, I admit,
a moment of compassionate weakness on my part. I thought he was going to
behave in here. Alas, he's the same snarky turd he's always been.

There are still a few whose posts I simply skip over and don't read,
period. I'm sure you can guess who they are.
