Cutting to what's really important, tell us about the boat. Looks like a pilothouse sailboat with no masts -- but seems to have a bow thruster. What is it?

you don't think some of the stuff I was trying to get this english gasbag to see was any more important than your laundry?
I've been talking to you guys for a couple weeks thought I was fairly well known around then this clown comes around calling me a newbie and a lyer and the only one that to help me out was ivengene. Don't worry about your laundry. The only thing I could do is show him for hours what a jerk he was being I'm not doing this to be mean I was hurt and had my priorities wrong and all I could do was hope something or someone would come along to make it better. I spent so much time defending myself not because he was attacking me it's that he was lying about stuff that might really hurt me. We have to call it people. When somthing is messed up it's our job. No one is going to do it for us.

It's a Bill Cooke design, built by Lyman Morse in Maine about ten years ago. She's about 55'. She's a motorsailer. She was Wrecked in Ireland the first or second year and was repaired and painted by us. She was refinished again a year or so ago. (it does have a bow thruster you can see the water churning as it's engaged.)

Poor little baby had his feelings hurt!

I never called you a liar. I simply called you out for being a deluded newbie (you are) who stated that the only thing on the road that could beat a porsche was another porsche (you did) - just quoting back your own words my friend. Stop being a big girl and get over it.

I just love how you tried turning this around on me.... "lying about stuff that might hurt someone" Gotta love it! I think it's time you headed to my ignore list.

I'm beginning to wonder if the IMS discussions have more merit. Just saying...

Put me on there with every other person that makes you uncomfortable. I bet that list is a whole lot longer than your freind list.
