Man, to keep this in perspective, this is a freakin' aircraft carrier!
I know that there used to be someone here who claimed to have piloted
a boat around the horn, but to drench the bow of an aircraft carrier
is something else!

I guess if one were in a much smaller boat, like a 25'er, one would just
stay on the crest of one of those waves and ride it out.

My school roommate was on the Carrier Bonne Homme Richard in a Cyclone in
the South Pacific when the waves bent the front of the deck. He said they
had green water rolling down the deck. He felt sorry for the DE's with them
as they disappeared completely at times. As well as what could they get to
eat. He said they could at least have coffee and sandwiches on the carrier.

Once upon a time (late 1980s) when rec.boats was actually a boating
(read sailing) forum and was to an impressive degree frequented by people
with real nautical experience (multiple Round the World Races, Navy...)
someone started a bragging match: "Who has been through the worst
storm at sea?"

The guy who 'won' had serviced on a nuclear air craft carrier
(Nimitz type of thing) and on the way into Japan they were over-
run by this typhoon and got pooped several times.

rec.boats is mostly populated by non-boaters these days, by boating
nincompoops who, for example, ask which brand of high-tech two cycle
outboard oil would be the best to use in their four cycle outboard, and
by amateur guitar players, amateur beer brewers, old farts who think
they had something to do with the production of grandchildren, golfers
who shoot in the 90s, and an absolute idiot who pretends he is a
construction engineer but who knows nothing about construction or

Nice try at a recovery. Perhaps you should occupy yourself, as you have,
by sending snotty emails and private messages to those you don't like,

In those days, gays were being turned away and some were granted

it was pretty difficult to escape the draft unless you enlisted. Criminals
were offered military service in lieu of sentences. So where does that leave

Florida Jim is ****ed at me because I wasn't stupid enough to get
drafted.


The criminal record maybe?


In those days, gays were being turned away and some were granted
conscientious objector status if they presented a convincing case. Otherwise
it was pretty difficult to escape the draft unless you enlisted. Criminals
were offered military service in lieu of sentences. So where does that leave
Harry?

He was probably too busy attending his dad's fireboat welcome in NYC.
Oh, wait, that was another one of his lies.....

Don't stand 'downwind' of him. He earned his nickname honestly.

Once upon a time (late 1980s) when rec.boats was actually a boating
(read sailing) forum and was to an impressive degree frequented by people
with real nautical experience (multiple Round the World Races, Navy...)
someone started a bragging match: "Who has been through the worst
storm at sea?"

The guy who 'won' had serviced on a nuclear air craft carrier
(Nimitz type of thing) and on the way into Japan they were over-
run by this typhoon and got pooped several times.


You may be thinking of rec.boats.cruising, which has a lot of sailor types
thereon.


Nope, this was before rec.boats got 'branches', if memory serves.
I have never attended r.b.c.

We had a 'club pendant' (is that the word??) designed and someone
working at the linear particle accelerator in Stanford printed and sold
t-shirts---I still have one.

We had rec.boats 'summit' dinner at one of the yacht clubs to the
north of S.F. (no not Sausolito, the name eludes me) in mid-June
1997.

There was a list of people willing to host (take for a sail)
rec.boaters on the road. I got out sailing on the S.F. Bay
and Chesapeake Bay that way. I took a guy from N.Y. sailing on
my cat here in Sweden.

We have 'moved on' since those days.

My guess is that of Krueger's last 500 posts here, at least 450 are
insults aimed at other posters.

Also read the "Fatal Storm" about the Hobart Sydney race. Also a good read.

Until you get caught in the curl and it breaks down on you, or you go
flying off the front edge into the trough. If you haven't done so
already, go read the "Perfect Storm", the book not the movie. There
is almost an entire chapter devoted to all of the ways you can sink a
boat in a storm.

Maybe he wore lace panties to the draft physical. I dodged the draft

I don't know. The guy who claimed to have done it lurks here, perhaps
he'll answer!
