You beat me to it. I'd be happy to take those silly winches off his hands -- why on earth would he want those cluttering up his boat and spoiling the otherwise clean lines?!?

...a reminder to all of us to get our prescriptions filled on time.

Geez.

Giulietta,

All joking aside, this is the first time I've truly appreciated how close your boat is to his. I had assumed that there was a finger-pier separating them, I had no idea you could literally step across to his boat from yours. Yikes, TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT!! You're wise to move out.

I'm sorry to hear it's come to this. The kid is clearly psychotic (maybe bipolar but more likely schizophrenic given the duration of his symptoms). Isn't there a state mental health organization or crises hotline that you or the marina can report him to? He needs help, and stands a chance of recovering if he gets the right treatment. It must be frustrating to be powerless to intervene.

Now, about the goodies in that dumpster....

Giulietta is just really niceGiulietta is just really niceGiulietta is just really niceGiulietta is just really nice
NO ONE picks a thing from the dumpster..no one

No one wants to be pointed as taking advantage..

I believe in a week or so this will all end...the kid is nice really...se rides his bike in his thongs and waves at evereyone...

The fact also is that many people don't know what is going on, because the marina access is restricted to owners only...

The managers don't visit the boat, only the helpers and the yard officer that makes sure the boat survives another day.

Anyway...there will be an end soon...someone is actually going to tell the dad the madness must end...

Is he for a fit once he sees the boat.

That's a damn shame... looked like it was a really nice boat at some point in the recent past.
Yeah I looked at a Hanse and they are very nice, at least this one was. supposed to be faster than most monohulls as well. Very very sad indeed.I gotta tell Nimfy about this because she liked the Hanse, she's gonna crap her shorts (i know i did). if he dicides to remove the Keel, tell him to wear cement shoes to keep him stable while cutting and breath through a water hose, then when he's under, yank the hose
Sad Story Giu!

WHAT??? A Hanse faster than most monohulls??? Are you serious?? Get your head out of the sand.

Hey Giu, I infer that USPirate is implying the Hanse is faster than the Delmar Conde!!!

I must say, there is nothing like being on a Hanse 40 in a beam reach going 15 kts speed in 20 kts of wind with the cruising sails up; nothing like it.

Holy crap Giu, go to the dumpster at night when noone can see you. Then tell him to sail to Council Bluffs where there's a real nice hotel he can stay at.

Alex, please remind your neighbor that the new US security regulations require all incoming vessels to be equipped with adequate scuttle charges, so that they may scuttled in deep water if they are boarded and taken over by AlQueda agents.

He will need to install dual redundant explosive charges (Semtex preferably) on each of the keel bolts, with two independent firing systems, so that the keel may be blown free and the boat scuttled in no more than 30 seconds to prevent it from being used by hostile agents.

If the scuttle charges are not in place, he will be turned back at the continental shelf and escorted out by naval vessels. We take our safety very seriously these days, he's simply GOT to install those scuttle charges before he leaves Portugal.
