What a day...

[Hitch]

Just had a real crazy day, and now completely exhausted and mentally fried. Very much challenged my seamanship skills and everything worked out OK. Now, relaxing and unwinding, with a nice vodka drink...and wanted to share some thoughts.

The biggest being, always follow the ABC's, Always Be Cool. Never panic, no matter how bad things get. Don't yell, take a deep breath and think. Secondly, having a good partner who stays calm as well. Third, our faith in God. Those three things, I think a man can handle any situation. Perhaps our faith in God should be number 1, but anyway..

Good one. Here's one for those who own boats. Bullet proof steering. You lose steerage, you are done, go over your systems and make them bullet proof. I have a lot of work to do now.

Whoa dude that is such a scary thought, a world without Maryjane...

And gloves too, actually. Cut my hands up a bit. Could have used some good gloves. Thanks Horn.

I could have lost the boat today. Been working on her for years now. That reality is sinking in. I'll sleep good tonight, though.

[Horn]

I have a habit of breaking glasses while doing the dishes,

this morning I had a clean one in one hand, and smashed another slippery dirty one in the other hand into it, only one survived.

Make sure your coffee cup is clean the night before.

I bought a wonder wash and that thing is awsome...I can now do micro loads to keep stuff from piling up

5 mins of spinning and a rinse cycle and it smell just like a Landry clean.

Im getting a backup one...cause you cant gow wrong for 40 bucks.

Cool! Glad you like it. I use mine all the time too, can't have washer/dryer on the boat, and saves me a trip to the laundromat. After a couple of years, still works as new.

The wind was blowing 25 knots right towards the rocks too. We lost steering after coming into the harbor area after sailing for the day. It was just me and this gal I've been dating on board, and I told her before we left I'll be asking for her to help, that I don't yell or raise my voice. That's a big pet peeve of mine, captains who yell. So, when I calmly told her we lost steering, she knew instantly we were in deep shit. She saved the day. She didn't panic or freak out, but jumped into action. I managed to get the boat pointed toward a dock, and used the wind and the engine to guide us there. She jumped off the boat, line in hand, and tied that first line up. Once we had that first line up, I knew we had saved the boat.

[Libertytree]

Damn Hitch! Sounds like you got yourself into one hell of a pickle out there and are grateful to make it back and still have your boat. Glad things worked out!

I'm sorry everyone, on this forum. This last post I just completely made up. I do this, I struggle with things, my life sucks, and I take it out on the forum. Please accept my apology.

It's OK Book, you made up that last post, #33 in this thread. Those are not my words. I'm glad you admitted it. The first step, is to admit you have a problem. You have done that. We are here to help.

[mick silver]

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.


Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. I tend to think of Niemoeller when I am told to fear Russia and China or to live in fear of Iran’s imaginary nuclear weapons program. When you look at what is being done, what has already been done by “big data,” the “bread and circuses” phony elections, the imaginary terror threats and the endless hysteria drummed up by the media becomes clear

Book, I have an idea. Let's leave the forum out of our dispute.

I'll likely be traveling through Idaho later this summer. Let's meet in person and settle this like men. We can meet in a coffee shop, in public. Then go outside into the parking lot.

No need to clog up the forum with posts nobody wants to read.

That's my offer. Every time I see a troll post from you towards me, I'll remind you of it, as well. You pick a fight online, with me, you are picking a fight to my face. Let's see if you man up.

Think of the bragging rights on the forum you'd have if you win....beat up an ex cop. LOL. You'd be a hero on this forum. (you know you want to) Let's do it.

Nice that you and your partner both pulled an oar Hitch.

[agnut]

Hi Hitch. I can relate to your sail boating problem. I used to have an 18’ Alpha Cat with a 10” beam and used to race it around Mission bay in San Diego. There were conditions in which the wind coming over the sand berms that were perfect for “dancing” the catamaran at a 45 degree tilt while riding the upper pontoon about 8” above the water. The trick was how long I could keep it up. Hope that doesn’t make me sound gay !

The crowd shoreside would cheer as they realized what I was doing and the skill it took in order to continue as long as possible. I was putting on a show just for the pleasure of hearing the crowd express their almost childlike fascination. Again, hope that doesn.t make me sound gay !

Like I really give a shit about what makes me sound gay. I know who I am and nobody has the right to imply my personal beliefs while knowing literally nothing about me. That is prejudice writ large. Pre judging a person is incredibly shallow.

When I post I currently end with two quotes :

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body. -C.S. Lewis

The first quote engenders the realization that the yardstick of success in America has been money and power (how is that working out for you, America ?). I have rejected that and have been living in a world of my own understanding; a world also connected to the second quote by the great Christian writer, C.S. Lewis. I see people as spiritual souls being transported around this physical world by their physical bodies. There are many troubled souls who hurt others as well as themselves. They are measuring by the world’s yardstick; no wonder that they are so disoriented.

A real man doesn’t need to put on a macho front; he knows who he is and nothing said about him can change that. Several years ago I lost my 5 best friends, one by one. These were lifetime friends, not glorified acquaintances. The kind of friends who would jump in and help, no matter the consequences. A couple of years ago I was with a couple and it struck me of their great loss and I broke down and cried, the realization was so overwhelming. The couple were surprised as I was. I guess that I had been holding back all these years, unwilling to deal with the loss. Is it gay for a man to cry ? We all have to search our own soul and see how we stack up as a human being.

I’m going to mention another incident which relates to our so called manhood. It occurred back in the late 1980s. My wife and I were in the doctor’s office regarding the vision of our younger son who had been recently born. The doctor informed us that his vision would never be normal. I broke down and cried right then and there. Both the doctor and my wife were speechless. They did not understand; they could not. You see, I was born with one eye taking over and had had two eye surgeries which did not correct my situation. So I had many years of ridicule while growing up. Other kids can be so cruel. When I became an adult the ridicule ended but I still had no sense of depth perception or right side peripheral acuity. In fact, I had a fall a couple of weeks ago that scraped up my right chin, nose and eye. My right eye was swollen shut for a couple of days and I wasn’t sure how I would recover. Fortunately, my glasses took the brunt and have a patch where the concrete took its toll. I bled for four hours. The first thing I thought was that I was glad to know that it wasn’t my good eye even though I was bleeding profusely. Once again, hope that doesn’t make me sound gay !

I’m okay now; the scabs have come off and the swelling has gone down although I did have to bloodlet over the eye one time in order to reduce the swelling. It was almost as big as a ping pong ball. Quasimodo without the hunch.

About now you may be wondering if I called 911 since I was alone. No, I called my nephew who came over and helped patch me up. I can’t say enough nice things about him; but he is fearless, intelligent, wise and caring. I suppose that many people would look at him and never see the beauty of who he really is. I have to admit that I did not see these qualities in him when I was younger, my shortcoming. I’m so happy that I have lived long enough to truly understand what is important and what is not.

By the way, he is a biker with Harleys and just loves to ride. Sometimes I think of bikers as the last real men and therefore have a high respect for them as a whole. Some make problems but most are great guys if you get to know them. Can you imagine Hillary having a biker rally like Trump just had ? Makes you think.
What spirit do we want in the Whitehouse ? That is a question that ALL Americans should be thinking about before we vote. Trump; That’s the spirit !

Best wishes,

Agnut

[Hitch]

Thanks, Agnut. You are a very inspirational person.

This thread is 2 years old. What happened that day, not sure if I told the story, but I almost lost my boat. Well, my boat is my home. The gal I was dating at the time and I took her out for a sail. Everything went fine out on the ocean, the winds kicked up to maybe 30 knots, it was blowing. I had 2 reefs in the main, and the roller jib half way out maybe. Still, very wet, and the occasional wave crashing over the bow.

We entered the harbor. I turned to starboard just fine, went to correct to port. No steering. Lost the steering. I looked into the lazarette and saw a mess of cables. I knew we were screwed. Turns out I could still steer to starboard, and the wind was setting me to the rocks.

I turned into the wind. But kept my bow just to leeward. Well, that allowed me to "sea saw" my way forward....letting the bow drop off, and turning into it. The gal jumped off the bow when we got close enough, and got a line on the dock, and saved us. That gal saved the boat. Once we had a line up, I went to work on fixing the steering.

Sometimes it's nice, to revisit a two year old thread, and reflect on it. Especially when folks like you take the time to share your life wisdom with us.

Your post though, and your experiences Agnut, have given me a lot to think about.

This thread is 2 years old. What happened that day, not sure if I told the story, but I almost lost my boat. Well, my boat is my home. The gal I was dating at the time and I took her out for a sail. Everything went fine out on the ocean, the winds kicked up to maybe 30 knots, it was blowing. I had 2 reefs in the main, and the roller jib half way out maybe. Still, very wet, and the occasional wave crashing over the bow.

We entered the harbor. I turned to starboard just fine, went to correct to port. No steering. Lost the steering. I looked into the lazarette and saw a mess of cables. I knew we were screwed. Turns out I could still steer to starboard, and the wind was setting me to the rocks.

I turned into the wind. But kept my bow just to leeward. Well, that allowed me to "sea saw" my way forward....letting the bow drop off, and turning into it. The gal jumped off the bow when we got close enough, and got a line on the dock, and saved us. That gal saved the boat. Once we had a line up, I went to work on fixing the steering.

Sometimes it's nice, to revisit a two year old thread, and reflect on it.





This thread title should be: "I DIDN'T MAINTAIN MY BOAT AND ALMOST DROWNED A GAL"

I stopped posting threads 2 years ago. You just keep bumping them up. This thread is 2 years old, you liar.

If you were a man, lol, you would take our feud off the forum and we could settle things.

Bump up more old threads, pussy.

You posted this PATHETIC CONFESSION (http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthread.php?77463-What-a-day&p=835526&viewfull=1#post835526) just twelve days ago in this thread.

No wonder you were drinking alone that night while posting this lying OP. The "gal" jumped off your boat and obviously kept running.

:rolleyes:

We had sex that night, lol. There's the truth, and there's what Book wants you to believe is the "truth". Book wants you to create your own reality. Yes, this is a truth valued forum.....

:rolleyes: you spent that night alone "sharing some thoughts" at GSUS:





Just had a real crazy day, and now completely exhausted and mentally fried....Now, relaxing and unwinding, with a nice vodka drink...and wanted to share some thoughts.

Book. Nobody here gives a shit. The only person who seems to care, is YOU. LOL. I just respond to you for pure laughs at this point.

OP



Those three things, I think a man can handle any situation. Perhaps our faith in God should be number 1, but anyway..

You didn't that day. A gal saved you and your boat.

Let's bump up this thread one more time.

If Book thinks this thread is important, it must be.

[SIZE=3]You didn't that day. A gal saved you and your boat.

I understand. This thread is about life and death, man against the ocean. This is big shit, dude. There was a gal, bad steering, huge seas, and even sea monsters. It's a great adventure.

Thanks for keep bumping this up. 2 years old, who cares? Let's pretend it happened yesterday. Everyone is so excited to read about it. This thread is such a great addition to the forum, everyone is clapping. You are a big hero, Book. This thread would have been lost, buried, 2 years ago. You took the time. Your time is valued, you spent it, resurrecting this thread.

I am honored.

Did you guys have ice cream? Very legitimate question.

I'm sorry, I am just looking for ANY reason to bump this thread up.

We did not have any ice cream. Ice cream is really important though, it helps with sea sickness. Cebu is bang on with that, he's right.

Is that a sentence? Is that English? I "heard so". If you are a black lives matter thug, piss off. What the fuck are you even talking about, anyway.

"I heard. So is real maple syrup." Makes perfect sense in the context. It's nice you have a hobby now that you can dedicate all your spare time too...
