Mooron pendent

So I rowed over trying to be suggestive. Put-on the fine black skirt and supporters halter have you noticed your pendant is riding on your anchor. Like right now go look it is not good. I suggest a second line, they know better and leave, I say your welcome. They are weekend asses: So I rowed over trying to be suggestive.

Sorry I was upset so this guy has a line from deck to mooring. When the wind shifts the line lays hard against the edge of the cqr. I think they must not know. I rowed over and point it out. They are okay with it. I suggest they lay out another line at least . No it's good they say. Im like uhhh no that's not good just trying to keep you off my boat. I guess I did my duty. Weekend warriors.

Re: Mooron pendent

I'm confused, is it
Mooron pendent ?
Moron pendant?
Mooring pendant?
or Pedantic Moron?

Re: Mooron pendent

If people rudely blow you off after trying to help them then its probably a psychological problem on their part. Why worry about what nut jobs think of you?

Really I thought they might want to be concerned. I care cause it's stupid easy to do better. Also I'm a target if the line gets cut through. I was surprised. I thought that it was obvious they had a problem. No it's fine they think. I have seen line chafe and fail, so it's obvious this is bad to me. Not so obvious to them. Maybe they will wonder why I rowed over and pointed to the issue.

Re: Mooron pendent

They must have thought you were the weird one when you started taking pics. Some people don't get the little things. You don't know how fast rope chafes until good line is gone 4 hrs later. Wait till its blowing 50 kts, blow a air horn at them and point at their bow repeatedly while yelling in the wind. It's all you can do.

If they spoke English only, there lies your problem. Your communiction here sure came across as a whiskey tango foxtrott to me and have yet really to understand what you are talking about.
In the above statement, you called yourself a "dolt"? Do you realize what that is?

An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way.

Friendly?
Is that what you call it?
You were telling them they did it wrong while taking photographs.
I would not be respective either.

Looking at the pictures what have we got there, about 2 knots of wind?
Not as if it was an issue for chafe now was it.
