I've frequently seen it as we go in and out of FMB but have always
been reluctant to go too close to their docks, especially the
"stealth" boat. It's usually off to the side away from the orange
boats.
What a manly man you are.
For sure. When I sailed out of the local navy yacht club, we used to
come right up to the floating baracade put up by visiting 'merican
nuclear subs... just to see that guy in the deck hut come running out
with his rifle. As soon as he showed, we'd tack ond be on our way.
That's your style. Isn't it? Taunt your protectors.
Over and out.
Yeah, right...the U.S. Navy is protecting Canada. That's a laugh.- Hide

You think they want to pay to protect their own ports? We provide
their security, they accept it with one face, and ridicule us with the
other;) It's no different than any other country we help...

Just who are you protecting our ports from?
We do our security, if that's what you mean.


If I were a Canadian, I'd be worried about the enemy immediately
south...the one that wants to suck down Canada's natural resources.


Oh yeah! That's always been a big concern. It's a tough balance putting up
with US trade bullying in order to have access to the American market.
People up here are getting worried about the message Hillary is sending out
about re-negotiating NAFTA.
Our Prime Minister says we're in a stronger position now than when the
original agreement was signed. As long as the US needs our hydro & oil,
we've got a strong hand.

Drill a hole in a 2x4 and called it a manufactured part.

In the pre homeland days you could just go down there and chat up the
coasties. They would walk you around and spill their guts. (My coastie
ring may have helped)

Stealth boats with heavy fire power do not exactly give me a warm and
cozy feeling. We got boarded by one of their red boats a couple of
years ago for BWB (Boating With Blondes). Watching these youngsters
scurry around the boat with side arms and black boots did not exactly
raise my sense of homeland security. Fortunately one of the coasties
was from Seattle, as was one of our blondes. After that the hostility
level dropped several notches.

Why?

I love seeing how kind and gentle you and your BFF were while I was gone.
Were all your harsh words my fault?
