Next time W'hine responds to a post of mine that has nothing to do
with him, ask W'hine that. Go ahead...make my day.

Virtually every ****ing contest going on in rec.boats is a series of
prompts/responses to some original comment, likely made years ago that
nobody can remember.

I used to scold my kids when they were 4 or 5 years old to stop doing
this.

The point is, you are quick to jump on my comments, but I don't see you
jumping on W'hine's "snarky" comments aimed in my direction, nor have I
noticed you jumping on similar comments from "The Seven," or from your
buddy SW.



Have you ever considered what is the common denominator?

Eisboch


Sure. There are a dozen or so "righties" who don't like my political
views, and they try to "bash" me at every opportunity.

My complete dislike for Harry has nothing to do with his politics. I am a
moderate liberal, Loogie politics is very similar to Harry's. Most people
don't like Harry because of his behavior and his politics is secondary. All
in all, Harry's problem is he is Harry.

It's safer than a Gulf Stream crossing. We did it last January and
got beat up a bit on the return trip - 25 kts out of the north with 6
to 7 foot beam seas most of the way. There is also a nice little
anchorage at Boca Grande Key east of the Marquesas. In the summer
time you still have thunderstorm risk but you have the option of
seeking shelter or beating a retreat. The longest open water passage
is about 30 nautical miles. You will be just about the smallest boat
out there, even the Cuban refugees use bigger.




If you were a nice guy, D'whine, you'd offer to "convoy" with O'Hara.
After all, you're both in Florida, and you certainly have nothing of
importance to do anymore. Right?

Perhaps because he's lonely and wants someone to talk to him?

Sure thing. Just like you there, JohnnyPotkettle

And what exactly is it that you do that is so important WAFA ?

He comes here and acts like a low life asshole!

Just about any kind of trip like that is possible on the right day.
The fun starts when things start going wrong and cascade out of
control. What if you break down out there 50 miles from the mainland?
Your cell phone and VHF don't have enough range. If you can reach
another boat on the radio, and they can relay a message to SeaTow,
they might come out and get you - at a very steep price, probably in
the thousands. Free towing only goes 25 miles. USCG will do almost
anything to avoid coming out for you - you'll have to convince someone
that lives are at stake, and that's if you can get through to them at

That's for sure. Even if you set off an EPIRB, they'll ask for other
people to try and confirm it's a real emergency before they send
anything out. With all those boats in south Florida, do you know how
many false alarms they get? There's no way they can send out
resources to all of them without confirmation.

Although you might have a better chance if it goes off 50 miles from
shore in bad weather than in a marina.

It's just that simple. Go away and get a life.

Gee, and I thought it was something personal!

Sorry, W'hine...your aimless, self-indulgent, peripatetic lifestyle
doesn't appeal to me. Perhaps if I lived along a Norway-rat infested
canal in the hell-like heat of south Florida, though, I might want to
leave Dodge as often as possible. Are those houses across that canal
clad in real stucco over CMU, or are they - ugh - dryvit?

that lives are at stake, and that's if you can get through to them at
all. The west coast of Florida south of Everglades City is 100 miles
of wilderness until you get to the Keys. Another interesting
consideration is that there are no supplies in the Tortugas or
anywhere else between there and Key West. Going from KW you need a
safe working range of at least 150 miles, from Everglades City more
like 250 miles.

Good points, and care must be taken in that type journey.
I think the guy I mentioned had a kicker, but I can't get into the
forum's search function to find out.
Anyway, as I recall when I read it, it wasn't a voyage I wanted to
undertake with that boat.
My dad has fond memories of a couple Tortugas fishing trips he took.
3-day deals where you had berths on the fishing boat to nap in.
Fish, nap, fish, eat, fish, ****, fish, fish, eat, fish, etc.
It was over 10 years ago and he recalls paying 200 bucks.
I think it was this boat,

115 footer. Caught lots of fish, and the food on the boat was pretty
good. Seas were almost flat on his trips.
