Mark my words. You've not been out in a big sea yet. Everyone falls over
sooner or later, doing it safely is a part of seamanship!

It'll NEVER happen. I'm simply to coordinated and quick. 6 years ago I fell in
the snow. It took four young and very energetic girls to take me down. They
joined me.

Yes Bwhahhahahahahahahaha

The laugh is on you, you agile fit man you!

Yeah, I "diagnoded" it after I fell over a fender in the bedroom!

Bwahahahahahaha!

We always laugh at the dorks sailing with fenders on deck.

They are not in the way, not in the least. They are properly secured and
won't
be lost. Outside of the aesthetics, leaving them on deck during a short
sail
does no harm. None.

How many can you spot???

Let's hope the fender breaks my fall. Those decks are hard!

I don't have to prove anything. It's a fact.

They should never be sitting on deck.

Still awaiting the reason why. If we were sailing for many hours, it would
be
another matter. But a couple of hours in calm conditions? Makes no
difference.
And no one can prove otherwise.

He can't trip over something he can't see....

I'm going to trip over a big giant blue plastic balloon? Oh, okay! I
haven't
tripped or fallen in 5 years! And I mountain bike, run and jog.
How old are you???

RB

You mean you've got a fat ass???

Ganzy, my body fat is quite a bit lower than yours. I'm also in better
shape
overall.

They are obviously in the way.

It's not a fact. It's something someone told you. You can't prove it or even
explain by example. A fender in calm conditions over a two hour sail is lazy,
but that's all.
