Katy, you have to stop throwing those winch handles around when you
get upset.

Yeah, I know....but I haven't ever let one go OB...

Actually I did let my first winch go overboard this last weekend. It wasn't
secured properly of course, it just felt like it was since it had a really
snug fit. That wouldn't have mattered on the ST winches I'm used to working
with. On these non ST winches the handle started spinning around like a
propeller when we tacked and I started sheeting in on the Genny. It just
kinda took off like a helicopter

Of course it's wasted if he invests it on himself and not on me.

Huh?
What do you sail, an Atlantic freighter?
How do you keep the chart in front of the helmsman on a yacht?



I don't you upsidedowner. I place a screen with an electronic
chart in front of the helmsman.

Of course you permafrosted porkchop.
But you said you put a paper chart up, never ever had a paper chart
in the cockpit, too easily lost!



I am in total agreement you headhopping kangaroo. I hope the NG
doesn't hold that against me. If you want the helmsman to know where
you are going you'll have to give him an electronic chart. Paper
charts in the cockpit are too easíly lost. On the other hand the
Moroon could probably use the 12 bucks but then again he'd just
waste it on Rum.

Hey, if you buy rum instead of charts, you may not know where you are,
but you won't care either. That's a lot better than the alternative
for someone like Bob, who could spend money on charts and still not
know where he was.
