BTW, care to quantify your earlier position that one *must* have a
$500,000 Nordhavn or better to safely and comfortably cruise Alaska to
the Cortez and back? We'd really like to see you detail why vessels
selling for under $200,000 cannot accomplish that task. And finally, do
you think such a voyage is better handled by power or sail?

You lack the knowledge and physical agility to sail, and you
probably can't afford the type of vessel you truly belong on- a
passenger liner. When a guy from East Outhouse, KS, (with a
boating resume that consists primarily of making up stories about
trailering a 22-foot Bayliner to the Gulf of California and riding out
hurricanes), says he wants to go cruising offshore no responsible
person is going to encourage him to do so. You might consider flying
all around the world and taking some Carnival or NCL cruises. They even
have special venues for seniors. Those monster floating hotels are
large enough that even an aquaphobic might feel comfortable...

Appreciate this demonstration of your knowledge on the subject. It does
tend to reinforce the points some have been noting about you.

The points I just noted about you include:

When the discussion appears to be going against you, you change the
header and hijack the thread to personal attack.

That's fine.

Why did I know you were unprepared to discuss the boat questions above?
Do you suspect it's because I KNOW your full of it? You've been dancing
around this test for a couple weeks now. Don't you think it's about time
you belly up to the bar?

Why would a semi-invalid living in Derby, Kansas, have a preference for
a bluewater boat? How are those assist bars on your bathtub working out?

What's an "assist bar"? Can you tell us a little more about them,
Harry?

also claimed to be carrying at the same time an offshore life raft.
All this on a 22' day cruiser with a tiny cockpit astern of the
steering console.

You are fabricating again, Chuckie. There was no claim of an offshore
liferaft, the claim was of an Avon tender stored *under* the starboard
cockpit seats and a 15 hp Evinrude. The stored tender was behind cockpit
doors when not in use keeping that cockpit uncluttered.

BTW, that tender COULD have been used as an emergency raft if needed.

I am fabricating *nothing*, Psuedo.

All those comments were from the archives, made by other people. None
of those comments were mine.

What did they say?

Well, one said he noticed that you get upset when you get caught
fabricating distortions. Looks like nothing has changed there, has it?

Another poked fun at your "sea story" about the only time you ever
reported taking your Bayliner for a cruise........into a hurricane on
the Sea of Cortez, with a boatload of auxiliary gas cans and some sort
of "tender"......(which was probably really essential on a boat that
draws what, 15" with the drive up?).....

The last quote was your good friend Harry, simply agreeing with the
other two comments.

You got a problem with what was said? Take it up with the people who
said it.

Oh, but you are, Chuckie baby. Not only that, but you are refusing to
discuss the very simple questions posed to you about West Coast voyaging
vessel requirements. Could that be because your previous musings on this
subject are without foundation and you've not yet found a clue?
