I hope his hair will float all the way to Finland so I'd have at least a little bit of a chance to see it before I die. And then I'd cut it. Cut it until it doesn't exist anymore.

I've done pricing on boating and I'm within the range of surviverability,

i hate to break it to you, but you're not excused. go take a fuck to yourself.

Psychotic people dont know they are psychotic....therefore you are not psychotic.

Just stupid.

Hah yeah I'm not talking about fear either. I'm saying that reaction time can be a big deal if you get hit by a storm. Not saying it isn't possible, but there's a difference between perseverance and determination to do something, and blind optimism that you can do it.
Allow me to use an analogy: DJ'ing
You've read tons of books on dj'ing, you understand how beatmatching works and how to do it, etc, but you've never spent more than a few hours on the decks. Chances are, playing a big clob is NOT the best thing to do at this point, you'd practice and learn your craft, then move up to doing more ambitious things. Except in this case, you'd trainwreck instead of shipwreck. However, both things are funny to people watching you and hoping you fail, so I suppose I'm all for it.

Im hardly conservative.

Sounds good on paper doesnt it?

Go ahead and a fuck yourself. Im sure you wont give us the satisfaction of letting us know you failed but I hope you do .

Sailing isnt as easy as you seem to think. Your thought process will get you properly fucked.

Laughing at the ludicrous plans of Ashley. Hey if you ever get stranded on a deserted island you can weave your hair into a raft and sail back to civilization. Jack Sparrow did it and so can you.

Anyways, a college friend of mine once took me out on his catamaran. Both an exhilarating and scary feeling being at the mercy of the ocean and mother nature. When the wind picked up and that boat lifted out of the water. There's a humble serenity that comes over you.



ps. I hope a shark eats you alive.

What the fuck is wrong with all of you? Stop telling him not to do it. Ashley, I hereby support this entire plan of yours. I think it's brilliant, and I think that you'll be able to succeed as long as you put your mind to it! DO IT! Don't let a single Goddamned one of these fucks tell you not to.

Listen to this guy.



and post your fail.

You will still suck at sailing.

So how did being sold on eBay go for you ********?

Originally posted by ******** L.E.N. its not complex you raise the sails in the right order, put the boat in the right direction .. go in the right direction and whala.. protect the sail. If you think you are gods gift to sailing why don't you offer some advice instead of making banal statements.

I dont think Im gods gift to sailing. I do know that its not something you just jump into on impulse. It is complex. Go ahead and raise those sails when there is no wind or when the wind is going the wrong direction. You are in canada and cant spell viola correctly...what makes you think sailing is a no brainer recreation?

Originally posted by ******** So I may have just bought a 26' sailboat and am wondering if anyone here sails, any advice, experiences, etc... Also anyone who knows the laws of pilotage of sailboat in Flordia, or within the US, very interested.

What is your budget for the boat?

oke people you can pm me for a bet on how this dude is going to die.

-eaten by sharks

-lost in the bermuda

-tied himself to death with knobs

-raped and left for death by a tunafish

-lost his boat to pirates

-raped and left for death by pirates

-lost his navigation, had to drink urine for several months and then he hits a large piece of northpole ice

-raped and left for death by polarbears

What does this boat look like?

Originally posted by ******** I know to face the boat into the wind when raising the main then the jib(s) (ha I said jib(s)) I know that a wind direction ditector or film cassette film can be used for that. I know I'll get a little luff but can't get too much --- Although I seem to get some level of discouragement on this. I may stick around florida for a week learning the ropes before I head up the coast. when have I said viola?

You're justifying your sailing knowledge by citing devices to tell what direction the wind is blowing

(called tell-tale's btw)

Loses his navigation in the first week of sailing in the bermuda, drifts off into the atlantic for several months (while surviving on his own urine) where he encounters several other boats that could potentially have helped. Believing them to be pirates, he attempts to steer in the opposite direction. Frantically messing with the ropes, he entangles himself in an awkward position - his lower body dipping into the water, where it successively gets raped by tunafish. Finally, he drifts into arctic waters, where he is raped by polar bears. After floating on the surface for no less than ten minutes, his battered carcass is gulped down by hungry sharks.

Chris, I love you like the best-internet-friend that I never had, but for God sakes would you stop? Don't you get it, man? Provide him encouragement! Steer him in the right direction to get him out there on his own, sailing, being one with the vast emptiness that is the ocean. Support him! HE CAN DO THIS.



















































Because if you do all of that, he builds a significant amount of confidence in himself, will go ahead and do it and probably get fucked up. As a result, we won't have to read his posts anymore. SUPPORT HIM.

Would you not consider a motorboat? Would make things a lot easier. And invest in a decent life raft.

Just go for it I say, dont let people try and put you off, fuck it just swim

regardless on if he never posts again or dies or whatever i say do it for the experience

I hope you get lost in the bermuda triangle and make a thread using your blackberry asking how to get the fuck out.

... he'd be in the Bermuda Triangle, where electronics are known to go batshit haywire and not function. A Blackberry would be worthless.

Granted its another step removed, but all I can think of when I read this is Ripped is a gangster! As much as I'm all for getting him the fuck off the boards, there's been a slow but steady rise in occurrences of people on the internet cheering on people blindly walking to their own death :/
