Since we are on the topic of cleat knots, I went to remove our fenders before today's sail and noticed that all four of them were tied differently. I can't even begin to explain how they were tied other than to say all four were incorrectly tied. Admiral Cindy installed the fenders last so against my better judgement, I questioned her on how to tie a cleat knot as I know we had covered this before. She informed that they were probably wrong but she just wanted to see which way was the prettiest!!!
I stupidly suggested we could have a little remedial training on the proper tieing of a cleat knot later on the hook. The look she gave me convied so much information to me that there was no need for me to ask her what she was getting at. I knew if I wanted it to be an enjoyable evening I should probably let her "pretty" cleat knots slide this time and just go behind her and retie the important ones.

No way to tell if that person is Flemish or not.
As for the 1/2 ladies.... I've known a few women who swear like sailors, so I suspect that is what Jackdaw meant.
Ok guys, do you know what D and R is? In addition up in the woods during hunting season, I doubt you will see a hot chick in a bikini unless this is what you meant:

Does it mean you're killing off another internet forum thread?

I normally do not ask for a thread to be stopped but when it starts to become in a sense pistols being drawn as to fault, then it is a thread that no longer serves it's purpose. Most importantly, a young man will remember the tragic circumstances for the rest of his life which will be very difficult and the possibility of Suicide is real. He is also a victim too and we do not need to see tongue lashing coming out in this forum. Sadly I knew of a case and it reminded me of that wherein an 18 yr old did just that. I view this forum to help sailors.
