Re: Intent

so the real question is when did you lose control of your posting. Some say that if you only intended to read a few posts, and then go to bed, but the next thing you know, it's 3am, then that qualifies.

Re: Intent

I'm telling you guys, I don't have a forum abuse problem. Just because I might enjoy a few more posts than the next guy every now and then. You don't see me binge posting. I'm completely in control of this. In fact, there's a lot of times I'll just stop cause I figure maybe I've posted enough for a while and I don't want to get too posted. Moderation, lots of moderation.

Allen I thought you are on the Atlantic, Right by Jacksonville? I use to cruse the Saint John in my Ski-Master I've been from Blue springs to Jacksonville. on it. Nice river except the speed limit for manatee's. ;)
 
Re: Intent

Six masts Wayne? What would that be? 2 or 3 hundred feet?

I don't know a whole lot about sail boats. Been around 'em enough. Went sailing for the first time a couple monthes ago. I always figured it would be complicated. It was actually as easy as I've always been told.

My friend (who just bought the boat) found out that if you sail in a circle, at some point the wind will want to, as fast as possible, put the main sail all the way across the deck on the other side of the boat. It turns out that on smaller boats you sort of have to share the deck with the sails.

Edit: I guess I didn't see that right. I thought you said six mast-er. :eek:

Re: Intent

I see you have seen your error already so I don't need to say it isn't a sail boat.

It is a Ski boat you know the one with a rope to some idiot hanging on the other end yelling to slow down! :D

This one had a Chrysler 165hp originally, but after to many times in salt water it developed cracks between cylinders and I installed a Mercury Black Max 250
Ski Master Is manufactured by Global Marine Specialties, Inc. They are out of Texas
 
Re: Intent

Yep, I know all about 0 to 45 miles (not naughts (did I spell that right?)) in about 3 seconds (or so) And nowhere for just plain good old hangin' out like you can with a 28' Sea Ray. WHAT?, I SAID I CAN'T HEAR YOU, YOU'LL HAVE TO SCREAM AS LOUD AS YOU CAN, WHAT? HEY THIS IS A GREAT SONG, SHUT UP, I CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC. IS THIS AS FAST AS IT GOES?

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I've had some wompum good times on many a ski boat. :cool:

Re: Intent

By the way Sam that's
"Knots" :D

To add some nore unusefull stuff:

A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the planet Earth. If you were to cut the Earth in half at the equator, you could pick up one of the halves and look at the equator as a circle. You could divide that circle into 360 degrees. You could then divide a degree into 60 minutes. A minute of arc on the planet Earth is 1 nautical mile. This unit of measurement is used by all nations for air and sea travel.

A knot is a unit of measure for speed. If you are traveling at a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour, you are said to be traveling at a speed of 1 knot

A nautical mile is 1,852 meters, or 1.852 kilometers. In the English measurement system, a nautical mile is 1.1508 miles, or 6,076 feet.

To travel around the Earth at the equator, you would have to travel (360 * 60) 21,600 nautical miles, 24,857 miles or 40,003 kilometers.

Ok I'm done. :D :D
