Next time you wanna make a crossing to the Bahamas in a 6ft sea with that wonderfull Sailfish, Let us know. My 35 year old 20SF of which I have INVESTED $30,000 is still doing it and in one piece.
So take your whiny, debating ass some place else. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

See ya, Ken

No Bones, If you're making that crossing in 6 foot seas (and I have made the crossing more times than you will in a lifetime) you're more of an idiot that I thought...maybe thats how you came up with your board name.

And rebuilding a classic hull is hardly exclusive to SeaCrafts, I have seen many classic makos, formulas, 20 & 25 bertrams re-done. You clearly missed any point I was trying to make and obviously have way too much time on your hands if your sitting bitchin over one man's opinion....

I'll be happy to take my whiny debating ass elsewhere - Enjoy the other six guys that agree with you. Dude, with your stubborn single minded little brain of yours I am sure you have fits each morning deciding on what shoe to put on first.

Well counselor, FYI I was born in Daytona Beach, Florida
52 years ago. My grandfather (a Florida native as well)
spent many hours with myself boating and fishing all
of the east coast of Florida. And going to the Bahamas
is one of our favorite things to do. We trailer to
Stuart and head over. Obviously your experience with crossings must be some what diminished, because as most
FLORIDIAN'S know the stream can kick up at any time.
Geographically speaking Virginia is a very long run to the Bahamas. But most attorneys can only see the ambulance
with the lights flashing, maybe that is what has you confused. "No Bones" came from the term of no bones in my fish when they are cleaned. As far as to much time on my hands, maybe. That is a privilege I have earned.
I have the time and the money to do as I please.
BTW: Your freedom of speech theory does not hold water.
Yes CSC is a public site, but you must be registered to
voice your oppion. As far as crossings go I have lost count.
Good Luck with your new Sailfish, as a suggestion you could
start your own website with some of your other enthusiast.
If there are any. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
See ya, Ken

No Bones, Hate to break it to you Chief, but I was born and raised in Miami - no trailer required. Doubt your a native either. I may live in Virginia now, but I still spend a significant amount of time fishing both coasts of the state, so I'd say my knowledge of the stream is sufficient to know better than to make a crossing to the bahamas in 6 footers in a 20. Your vast knowledge of the ocean sure is impressive - here's a hint for your next crossing - PFD's and CH16 on your VHF cause anyone stupid enough to try that in a 20 is gonna need some help.

Hey I had another idea, why not take some of that money of yours and invest in charm school, and maybe buy a few friends while your at it, cause with your attitude you sure can't have many.

Ain't this grand two florida rednecks pissing on a fire [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

At least we all agree on a few things: Beer, Babes(i hope) and SeaCrafts! Hey Fr Frank, you started this thread how bouts a prayer to keep us all sane [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

BTW: I'm been in So Florida since 1952, so nah nah nah

also, I have made several West Palm Bch to Walkers Cay crossings (105 mi) in some very snotty weather and that little 20' blue SeaCraft (Now for sale by "hichop") was hanging in there with the rest of us! Although I prefer being in my 23' for those times [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm impressed, you can type and do a search on the D.C. Bar web site. And posting my personal info on this site was perhaps one of the most juvenile things I have seen in a while - and yet I was amused and enjoyed it. Feel free to call me anytime to discuss this further, or if you're in town stop by the court, I'll introduce you to my friends in the U.S. Marshall's service. Look Chief, not sure who put a bee in your bonnet or what your problem is - you made your point. All hail the victor.

SInce '52 ? Shoot, I haven't been here that long and I was born here!

But the prayer? I can do that. Y'all can keep this one for your own continuous use.

We commend to you, our Heavenly Father, all whose lives are linked with the sea and all who serve their needs. Grant that in all things they may give of their best and never be disheartened. Grant that in the fury of the storm, and in the calm of the harbor they may ever be directed by your power within. Grant the assurance that, with your hand on the wheel, they may safely sail life’s stormy seas until at last they reach the haven of your peace. Grant that their loved ones, as they watch and wait, may know the strength and comfort of your presence, and the joy of happy reunions. Bless them all according to their several needs, and keep them safe in all dangers and temptations.

Lord God, Creator of land and sea, watch over those who work or play at sea or on the coastal or inland waterways: Be with them in fair weather and foul, in danger or distress. Strengthen them when they are weary; lift them up when they are down; and comfort them when they are far away from those they love. In this life, bring them safely to shore, and, in the life to come, welcome them to their eternal home; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Lord protect you in danger. The Lord deliver you from temptation. The Lord be with you when you are lonely and give you a strong anchor in life; and the blessing, grace, and peace of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you always. Amen.
