following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

Haven't been here in a while. Just checking in. What happened to
Skipper? I read somebody's post referring to "the demise of Skipper."
What did he do, haul his Bayliner down to the coast and get run over
by a tanker?

Ron M.

I think you can conclude that:

1) He bought a boat thinking it was a good idea to tow it 2500 miles
each way to water.

2) He quickly found out that it wasn't much fun and cost a lot in
upkeep on the undersized trailer

3) Failing in his quest to be a real boater, he came here to be an
armchair seafarer, which, too, offered him little enjoyment, since he
was frequently called to task for offering foolish and dangerous
advice to newbie boaters.

Having put the "highly modified 2252" Bayliner up for sale, he is now
mercifully boatless and probably does his cruising aboard the Carnival
Cruise Line.

The last time somebody came here to post in his name, the posts were
so acerbic and off base that I actually called Skipper and offered him
a chance to clear his name. Much to my horror, I learned that it
really *was* him posting and he was doing so because, in his mind,
some of the members of this group were too well thought of and he
wanted to change that.

Go Figure......
