Re: Life & Voyaging...

I think putting ideas into a box is a waste of time and effort. Everyone has their own ideas and their own reasons for doing what they do. JMHO

Re: Does everyone here feel this way?

Re: Does everyone here feel this way?

Nope, you were right. There is an inordinate number of negative, pompous know-it-all, If-you-do-it-different-from-me-then-you're-an-idiot types on this forum. If you don't think like they do, they'll...

Re: Delivery Skipper - St. Maarten to Ibiza

This forum has denigrated dramatically. People get off on jabbing, throwing barbs, putting other people down, humiliating others. It's getting tough to weed though all the crap to get to any salient...

Re: What Boat - Here's The General Specifics (?)

Morgan is just not on my favorite list, I don't care for their looks, and I can't find anything on a Whitney 42. No results Googling it. Any websites, etc., for them?

Thanks!

What Boat - Here's The General Specifics (?)

Hi All -
I tried this once before, without quite as many detailed specifics, and some goober on this board (still not sure why he took so much of his time to be a pain-in-the-ass), couldn't let me...
