Jeff sails staring at his compass. His radio, especially in a busy harbor is
making a constant racket as 100 pleasure boats hail eachother for beer and
fishing tips. He trails a line behind his boat to constantly remind him, and
anyone else, that his boat doesn't sail a straight line.

Sounds fun!!!

Jeff may not know the Rules as well as I do but he is
ten times the sailor you are. Anyone who brags about

You know Neal is ready to be KO'd when he's kissing Jeff's ass!!!

Bwahahahaha!

RB

Jeff knows what's going on around him. RB is in a fog.

I've come to believe I've been kicking around Simple Simon. Neal is a different
person,
with a much more refined sense of the nature of the world.

Yikes. They are the same fool, quantified by assumed dual idiocy.
And just as easy to kick around as ever.

RB

Actually, it's a good idea for anyone who singlehands, especially alone, to
trail a line with some sort of float attached in case you get knocked
overboard. This is especially true if you venture outside an inlet.

Sheesh.... another "expert"..... have you ever tried to pull yourself back
to a boat doing even 4 knots? I'll clue you in here... it can't be done.

It's useful if the boat rounds up and is not making much way. But if she's
moving, you'll drown faster...which could be a good thing compared to a run-in
with a Dolphin.

RB

Tell you what, next time you do a MOB practice, throw a line over the
side first then fall over the side, no not right on top of the line.

Forget practice. Try it for real! And don't tell anyone where you're going.

RB

You might have weenie arms but those of us who
are fit can pull ourselves hand over hand up a knotted
line of sufficient diameter at four or five knots. The
secret is to arch one's back and get most of one's
body out of the water and surfing along. Try it
behind a skiff sometime. It is not all that hard to
do.

That advise is as dangerous as it is useless.

If she rounds up Bob... what the hell is the rope good for... swim to the
frickin' boat.

I did try it you decrepit piece of lying flotsam... and I assure you I could
lift your emaciated little frame and twist it into a friggin' pretzel....
and I can't pull myself up to my boat at 5 knots. I've swam since I was 11
months old and scuba dive as well as free dive. I'm in twice the shape you
are and even smoking a cigarette, a blunt and drinking a beer I could out
run and out swim you. I'll tell you right now you are bull****ting. Not only
can't you do it... but you're shooting off your yap about something you have
no experience with.... could never accomplish and have never tried. So until
you know something about the subject.. do me a friggin' favour and shut your
maw. You're spewing crap again....
