Capt. Rob June 26th 07 02:42 AM

On a serious note
 
Sunday night at my club, a 48 year old man slipped and fell from the
bow of his powerboat. His head hit the dock first and he was under
water (under the boat in the slip) for three minutes. His wife
couldn't reach him, but someone nearby did. They managed to revive him
but he was dead an hour later from the head injury and some
complications due the time he was under.
He had been a long time boater, and I suppose that this sort of
accident falls under the "freak accident" arena, but it's still very
sad and troubling. Early that day he'd gotten up with his wife and two
kids, happy to be heading for his boat. Now he's dead and it's really
just that simple.
I'm not very sure what to say about it since he really committed no
foul. It's not as though he was drunk, or mishandling the boat in some
way. He just slipped.
Today, before I went sailing, I walked past his boat. Folks had placed
flowers on deck. His kids had been aboard when it happened and now
they'd associate boats and the ocean with thier father's passing. It
was damn heartbreaking.

So. On a serious note. All I can say is.
Be careful.

You don't actually expect anybody to believe this crap, do you? Seems
like you've told similar lies at least a couple times in the past. I
remember the one about the overturned sailboat and the downed sailors
you dived in to rescue and the head was sliced halfway off or something
gruesome like that.

It amazes me the gullible people who keep falling for your lies. Stick
to your lame electronics and automobile discussions where you can
bull**** some people. You have NO credibility when it comes to sailing.

To me what is important here is that no matter how many toys you

Whether the meaning here is collect and enjoy while you can, or
cherish your family while you can, or both, is left for the reader to

The F-24 is too small. Go with the F-27. If you're into fast sport
sailing the F-27 is a superior choice than a Mac26X. If you're more into
motoring, the Mac 26X is the superior choice.

Capt. Rob lies more than he sails. Even the videos he posts links for
show little sailing. One sail up at a time, no sails with the motor
going, cover still on the mainsail, dock parties, etc.

As for the head knock tall tale, forget about it. There's about a 95%
chance he made the whole thing up. Even if it's true, it means nothing.
People get up every day expecting an uneventful day and people die every
day.

Liberals like Booby live in self-denial of the facts of life. So they
end up all shocked when forced to face the realities of life and death.
By tomorrow, though, he'll stick his fat head back up his posterior and
again be oblivious to the facts of life.

That's sort of how I feel, but I don't know if I can afford the F-27.
I'm going to look at both when I go down to Charlotte harbor, but
probably not until October.
I don't want to motor, but do enjoy making good way. Those Corsairs
look like a piece of work for that, but space is a big trade-off.

Seems like you're a liar. I never posted anything like you claim. I
did post that during a bad T-storm a couple's boat was capsized and
the woman was run down by a powerboat. She lost most of her legs and
bled to death.
If I was going to make something up, it would probably be a bit more
dramatic than a fellow falling off his boat in a slip. As for the
other trolls...I aint interested.

RB claims to sail a lot, but he hardly sails "more than anyone else."
For starters, although he owns a "racer/cruiser" he has neither
raced nor cruised. His trips are essentially going out for a few
hours and aimlessly sailing around. Each year he announces grandiose
plans for a cruise or race, but these never come to pass, and in fact
he sails less and less each year.

There is nothing wrong with this approach to sailing - in fact, that's
about what I did for my first 8 years, and I still do it at times.
The issue is that as someone who has virtually never raced or cruised,
his credibility on these topics is severely limited. When pressed on
various topics, he demonstrates that he actually is quite ignorant of
basic concepts of sailing and cruising. In other words, most of his
"wisdom" is really third hand opinions from the yacht club bar. If
you need to know the market value of a common club racer, he may have
the answer - in other words, he's as knowledgeable as a junior used
car salesman.

Add to this that he is an admitted pathological liar, who brags about
making fools of people that believed him, and there's little to be
gained by taking anything he says seriously.

I'll second the pathological liar part. You may have entered a race or been
part of a crew but that is the exception. Same with cruising. There is no

You're right about me racing as part of a crew. Can you let us all

Crewing on a couple of minor races does not mean that *you* race.
Being a regular crew for a season, or skippering your own boat starts
you down that path.

Similarly, going out for 3 or 4 days in Long Island Sound a couple of
times does not make you a cruiser. Yes, you allegedly took one
week-long cruise that actually got you 80 miles from home. But that
was 5 years ago.

Again, I'm not finding fault in your modest accomplishments. I'm
claiming that they do not give you any credibility in the areas of
racing or cruising.

Ah! The "Websters" defense! You certainly earned the respect of

Yes, now I see, it comes down to the proper bait and technique. Think
I may be fishing too deep. Have to take the plane off the rig and
drag the bait a little closer to the surface.

However, I own both a Toyota and a Subaru, both relatively new. I
have to give the initial quality award to the Subaru. It also
outperforms those units in the class for about $1500 less. With an
equal too, or in most cases, better than, crash rating.

Don't think it goes Vroooom!!!!!!, though. The boxer is quiet.

However, I own both a Toyota and a Subaru, both relatively new. I
have to give the initial quality award to the Subaru. It also

Toyota has been unable to match Subaru in quality or performance in
recent years. So Toyota bought part of Subaru away from GM! If you
can't beat 'em, join 'em!
The only problem now is that Subaru is perhaps chasing the BMW and
Audi market a little too much. Rumors are about that the new Legacy
STI will top 41K. I'll probably still buy it since my current Legacy
GT is better than a 328 or 330XI as it is. An STI version will clobber
the market just as the first STI did. The boxer engine....enjoyed in
Subaru and Porsche!

So, are you claiming that if you flew left seat once in a small plane,
you're a pilot?

No, he would claim he owns the plane.
And he got it for free.

Corolla: Powering today's supercars! Vroooom!!!!!!
0-60 in 5.1 seconds. Seats 2 people and no AWD


Subaru: Powering the Impreza STI! Klunk!

The STI is already an automotive legend. Only the Evo comes close or
does better in AWD.

Now you see how that worked Frank. Not only did he respond, but he responded
with lies. The Corolla seats 5 adults.


It can't go 0-60 in the time he quotes, not even the hot rod version:

And there you have it!


Vrooom!!!!! 44 mpg!!! Vroooom!!!! 44 mpg!!! Vrooom!!! less than 15K$!!!!

BTW I got my big, expensive, premium telescope to lock on and track LEO
satellites. Wait until you see the pictures!!!! In Sky and Telescope!!!!


Vroooom!!!!!!!!


Yes, now I see, it comes down to the proper bait and technique. Think
I may be fishing too deep. Have to take the plane off the rig and
drag the bait a little closer to the surface.

You are not suppose to suck the bait off the hook Frank.

Sheeeze just drag a couple crappy rice burners across the surface of
the water and a frenzy insues. So sad. So removed from the pleasures
of sailing and the sea.

Concrete & Dirt, traffic jams, bloody knuckles(bobspit excluded).

Oh well, perhaps someone need to cruise and race.

I'm sure he said he owns the publishing house. Part of that
multi-million dollar estate inheritance.

All you've got to do is MAKE UP A NEW BOAT. That's what Bobsprit does,
he just makes things up and goes with them. The more people he gets to
believe his lies the more proud of himself he is.

Ask him to tell you how to do it and then you'll have every benefit of
owning and sailing the boat of your dreams without any of the expense
and difficulties of actually sailing it. Sound good?

I wish you lived closer to me (Christensted, St. Crois, V.I.). I'd take
you for a sail on my Swan 68. I'd even let you be helmsman.

He doesn't qualify unless he gets a sex change operation..although I
never could figure out how Rosie qualified in the first place..but
that's ok..they're going to let her bottom out the

Not sure of the title; I think its called; "With SomeOne like you" or it
could be; "A Spot Known to God Alone"

Know all the word but can't remember the Title
