If the seas are rolling, Harry might fall out of his seat in front of
the computer, besides that he has nothing to worry about.

That's what seat belts are for... :-)

Maybe he should consider an airbag also (to protect the screen).

Airbag for the airbag.

Gee, do you suppose that's why the boat's designers including a stout
handrail?

Okay, a little more detail please. OAL, engines. Sounds like you
moved up to a man sized boat! Semi-displacement means you can still
get up on a plane, eh? Didn't go for the 8 kt trawler.


Okay...but don't ask for many more details, else the trolls will jump
aboard. The boat is 37' LOA, and the diesels are Volvos, 250 hp each. In
theory, she will do 20-23+ knots, but I don't really know, since the
engines have not nearly completed break-in. We were running at 9 to 14
knots, mostly, varying the RPMs a lot.

We actually hit 2-3 footers on the way to Deale. No biggie out on the
ocean, but around here, that usually means a pretty stuff chop.

The hired skipper backed her right into the slip perfectly the first
time and probably could have done it blindfolded. He pulled out and I
backed in askew three times, but didn't whack anything. I was too
occupied to try it with the bow thruster. My BP these days hovers around
116/68...I know it was a lot higher later today. :)

Why would anybody want a slow trawler, a floating RV as it were?


A skilled seaman like Wayne might take advantage of long range cruising capabilities to actually go places. Krause, on the other hand............. Well lets just say his marina has a new dock queen.


do you honestly believe someone who didn't use his LTP for the last
year, really purchased a new 37' boat?

Let's just play along for a while.


Look I am doing my best to get Harry over his rec.boats obsession. You
are not helping.

The next option is ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy). I am so ****ed off
at the basement dweller, that I am ready to just plug him into the 220
Volt line and wish for the best.

I can't imagine him being any worse than he is now. Talk about a waste,
290 lbs of blubber and going senile.

You're insanely jealous and can't stand that your resources don't
measure up. Drives ya nuts, obviously. Or something does.

Why not focus your energies on being a productive volunteer or maybe
sell some cutco knives or Kirby vacuums door-to-door?

No telling what you might be able to create with enough effort. Sure
as hell is wasted here.

I know, and I only spend about 5% of the time you, Donnie and Harry send
here. Can you imagine if the 3 of you actually did something besides
post 24/7 in rec.boats

5% of your 24 hour day, about 50% of your free time.

Think how many Kirby's you could have sold to your neighbors, if they
could afford them.

I have to be honest with you, you are not funny, but you are very
boring. You must be a real ball at a party.

I'd be the life of the party at any event you hosted, by an order of
magnitude.

It's you that's boring with your incessant pursuit of a single poster
in rec.boats. What it comes down to is that you have an acute case of
uselessness.

Maybe you should find a new hobby. This one is worn out.

Harold, if you *really* care about improving the "tone", you should
take that alleged new boat out for a nice long cruise. It's a good
time of year on the Chesapeake to be heading south down the ICW to
warmer climes. Watch out for the wakes though and fasten your seat
belt - some of those guys with the big boats can generate some really
gnarly rolling action.

Some of us still have jobs, Wayne.

Just the idea of not working at something useful is anathema to me.

Most of my buddies my age and older from the labor union movement are
still working, typically as union staff or officers, or consultants to
unions or consultants to service-oriented NGOs, or to companies that do
business with unions. A 77-year-old "president emeritus" of an
international union, someone I've known for more than 30 years, works
three days a week for a couple of NGOs trying to resolve public health
problems in emerging nations. He's in Haiti right now.

If I take a "nice long cruise," as I posted yesterday, it'll be on the
Queen Mary II.

My idea of boating obviously is not the same as Wayne's. To each his/her
own.
