Harry, I hate to say this, but you are sounding much like JimH with your
comments - full of jealousy. It's not becoming.

It's all part of his low self esteem issue.

When I lived along the ICW in Florida, I'd often see boats like yours
wallowing down the ditch, and a couple of miles south of us, about every
two weeks, grounding on what was then an unmarked sandbar.

On good weather days, we'd go out into the Atlantic 20 miles to fish off
some of the manmade reefs. Never saw any trawlerbarges like yours out
there. Sometimes we'd see a trawlerbarge or sailboat just outside the
St. Johns River, waiting for the outgoing tide and current to change so
they could head in to the intersection of the river and the ICW.

Well, as usual you are wrong on a number of key points. In particular
you seem to be confusing a stabilized, twin engine GB49 with some type
of lesser vessel. We don't wallow, ever. Never have, never will.

Running north we are typically 70 to 80 miles offshore passing
Jacksonville, close to the rhumb line from Port St Lucie to
Charleston, SC. Small wonder that you didn't see any similar boats,
it really wouldn't be safe in something like yours.

Coming south we like to hang right off the beach running outside
during the day, several miles off at night. It's much faster outside
because of deeper water and lack of low bridges (our air draft is over
28 feet). The scenery along the beach is quite nice also.

Oh my! That's really far. Does your "dinghy" have a low transom, or
does he just follow you around on the NG's?

It's not clear what the attraction is but he's always back there. :-)

Must be the diesel exhaust or nicely varnished high transom.

Out in the mid bay having a fine time? Doing what? There's
nothing out in the mid bay.

Really? Are you sure?


I've been out in "mid Chesapeake" a zillion times, Wayne. There's
a couple of little islands directly across the bay from my house,
adjacent to "the other side. There's nothing between here and
there but water, buoys, and a few fishing spots. On most clear
days, I can look across and see the western side of the Eastern
Shore.

Now, if you go south towards the lower Bay, there are some
islands out in the Bay a little ways. Been there, too. Maybe you
are playing geographic games and defining "mid Chesapeake"
differently, but "mid Chesapeake" to me means...the navigational
channel.

Being out in the middle of the Bay driving a powerboat is...well,
kinda boring. On a nice windy day, though, being on a sailboat
out there is fun. Being on a floating winnebago like you
drive...nah.

Harry,
Since there is nothing to do and boring, why did you do it a
zillion times? I am curious, how did you get out the middle of
the bay a zillion times, and only put 25 hrs a year on your boat?
Floating?



How are the flies and rodents doing on Lake Lanier this month?

I have never known of a fly problem on the lake, and the only rodent
I ever see is one of these:

I am curious as to why you would want to go and do something a
zillon times that you find boring. It really just doesn't make any
sense.

It really seems that there is very little you enjoy about boating,
except talking about boating.


Once again, "reggie," I have no more interest in your advice or
questions than I would in a dog turd I walked around on the sidewalk,
other than noticing the smell was about the same.

Have you noticed that you seem to thrill on using high school insults,
yet they only thing I have ever done is point out the obvious
inconsistencies in your many insults and statements.

So do you see many rodents up your way. I hope you finally took my
suggestion and allow your wildlife to eat a healthy. natural varied
diet, and have stopped feeding them your table scraps.

Once again, narcissism is a disease. You *can* get help.

Then why did you ask me about lake lanier rodents?

Are you capable of ignoring posts, asshole? Children would laugh at
your behavior.

That's absurd. I'm simply not a fan of slow-moving powerboats, nor do I

So you finally admit that your lobster boat was a lie.

Why? All you have to do is back up into a following sea and you'll
have all the water you want.


You and Reggie seem to have newsgroup a**hole down pat.

And of course, your advice, like his, is wrong. The Bay around here is
not fresh water.

You do know the difference, right?

Good luck finding a space to store your fresh water. Maybe your cooler?
