Circumcision? Oh.... That sounds painful.This is the only post in this thread that makes much sense to me. I guess we'll see weinie again when he returns from his circumcision. On a starboard tack.

It won't be long before you're singing "It's Not Easy Being Green." Don't resist. It just makes things worse.I'm a little disturbed now that I know that I make sense to him.
Sorry for my poor choice of words. Scott your post does make sense to me. I try not to tack more than necessary just to keep from disturbing the crew. And I honestly don't get weinie's point unless he plans to sail all the way around the world without tacking. Maybe if I tried a martini I might understand.Guys,
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINAL GIST OF THIS THREAD?

Well, it seemed to be a tongue in check thread and with all the tacking the thread has done, we've shown the OP that tacking is not as difficult as it sounds. Certainly easier than circumnavigating to get back to your slip or waiting for major wind shift.Guys,

You're a quick learner AND you have to stick around. As the frog said before ... Hotel California rules apply ... you can never leave!But I thought the original post was about boozin' it up at the helm and cussing at bigger boats. I gotta lot to learn about sailin'. I'm outta here...
Is that what got him before he got around? He fell off the boat?My understanding is that Magellan liked martinis.
There were two other boats keeping pace with the guy that nearly creamed us. They altered course to avoid. Naturally, I didn't have much wind, therefore very little boat speed. By the time I figured out what the idiot wasn't doing, I had no time to get the engine started (takes me 30 secs to get the glow plugs warm enough). There was a next time the following day, and I tacked away early - but I had wind.I was wondering why kappy held his course while an unattended mobo was bearing down on him, getting to within 10' on a collision course no less! .
It was the wake from a 65' sport fishing boat that threw him overboard. He never spilled his martini. Not a drop.Is that what got him before he got around? He fell off the boat?
oy vey.This is the only post in this thread that makes much sense to me. I guess we'll see weinie again when he returns from his circumcision. On a starboard tack.
was the martini shaken or stirredI've decided that from now on, I'm just going to sail on starboard tack. Now the only way I'm gonna spill my martini is if some sixty-five foot sport fishing boat gets all up in my face.
And THAT'S why Magellan got a GPS named after him!It was the wake from a 65' sport fishing boat that threw him overboard. He never spilled his martini. Not a drop.
