Hey, I was just giving a hint for most of the people who don't
sail enough to qualify. Myself, I have plenty of legitimate time
so I don't have to cheat. But, some people do cheat and
that's a fact. Really, what's the harm if they only really had
350 days (8 hours = a day) in the time period and they
pad it 80 stinking hours? Does it really make them any
less safe or qualified? It just goes to show that passing
tests has a higher priority than documenting time.

Maybe you should try cruising the Bahamas for six-months at
a time and you would not have to cheat either. I've plenty
enough time in three years on one of my two boats. If I
used the time on both boats for five years I would easily have
double or triple what was needed.

Claims he is going to use this to document his sea time for renewal. We all
know how he really documents his time. (Posted by Neal 11/10/99):

The key to documenting your time is to do it on boats you have owned recently.
Then it is on the honor system. You have to show proof that you own the boats
but they take your word for the time you have sailed them. Hint! Hint!
