Bwaaahahahahahahahaha!
Wonder what they'll do for an encore?

Wait till we sail to Norwalk next week! It's gonna drive em mad!
They're really only upset about one simple thing...that we went at all. Clearly
Billy Jane day sails and races. I think Mooron may be upset that I have a
pretty & young wife who's getting into sailing happily. Even my "good friends"
are jealous of that. I just wish she'd stop asking if we can find a way to buy
a hobie cat!

No it isn't. It's taken him 5 years to do a 40 mile trip, and even then he
knows nothing about the nav involved.

Wrong...we actually took much longer trips in the Catalina 27. It was Ghost
that failed to really make anything further. Alien will be sailing to Great
Gull island and then Martha's Vineyard for her season opener in 2004. We are
very excited about it...should be fun.

If you combine the above
with Radar and GPS it becomes fairly obvious that with basic mathematical
skills and some navigational understanding... a comprehensive picture of
what is required to access the destination can be formulated in short
order

Why is that Mooron must constantly attack Suzanne?

Are there no depths to which Bob will not sink? Hiding behind Suzanne's
skirts is an act of such cowardice, that I am surprised Bob would even
attempt it!




She did a fine job with no
mistakes.

....... And apparently she did it without any help from her useless husband!


Taking some extra time to be certain of an entry will be the MO until
she's gotten more time to practice.

Surely, if you knew anything at all about navigation, then you would at
least do a bit of your own passage planning???? .... just so that you could
help if needed???



Mooron has NO point. None at all, I'm afraid...but he's sure hopping mad
about
getting his ass kicked!

I'm sure that he is really feeling your pain. I'm in danger of feeling a
small amount of pity for you after the ignorance that you have displayed
recently.


Bwahahahahaha!

Your "Bwahahahah" has a slightly demented ring to it. Reminds me of "One
Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest".

would a ''disco or two'' show up on radar?

| Is it crowded in there? Lots on lights on the shore?

Obviously not at 0200hrs... and since when do shorelights count when not
in
the background... or have you never considered alternate approaches?

So you don't know what is on the shore, what could be masking the
leads, house lights, factories, shopping centres,car lights, even a
disco or two.

Uh huh,
He'll back off if you just agree with him.
Bully and Arse fit.

I'm not sure what he wants me to agree with. Could it be?
Ignore a cruising guide as a supplement to charts?
Taking care before entering a strange port at night is bad?
The mind boggles! He's just trolling. He started off quite friendly. When I
finally answered all questions and gave specifics he seemed to get enraged. Now
all he has is my observance of a book's comments and non-observance of bottom
contours.
I feel pretty sorry for him at this point. Donal was even smart enough to move
along to tidal elements.
Of course no one with a brain bigger than a pea would comment on a port they
never saw before. At this point I'm not even sure Billy Jane has been there.
And Skitchy suggests that it's a dark port, when it was lit like a christmas
tree even at 2:00 am.

One thing is absolutely certain. I *would* know the state of the tide.

Bobsprit didn't even know *why* I asked about the time of HW!!!!!

You mean, in the case of nav error, you'd rather make it with more water.

No!


Or
could you be referring to conditions known to be problematic when the ebb
tide
goes against northerly or northwesterly winds? Nahhh. You couldn't know
about
that!

I've no idea which way the entrance faces.


What a joke!
This in itself indicates tremendous inexperience, but then you're 100%
ignorant
of the area and a daysailor!

Uh oh! You are calling *me* a daysailor??

It's time for a reality check, Bob.

Good lord, Donal. Why do this to yourself? I haven't the heart to hurt you
anymore this evening.
Yes, your comments indicate a daysailor mentality.

Hiding indicates that Suzanne did a poor job. In fact she did a GREAT job.
She had very little help from me.

RB

Only if it's on.

RB

Bwaaaahahhahahahhahaaha!
No Donal, the cruising guide stated that.
It was a quote!!

Ya know, Ozzy...they can't even follow the most basic threads.
You've really ruined this for them. Also: I'd appreciate you leaving the Dark
Side after this. More fun for me to take em' down alone! Just because it's easy
doesn't make it right.
