I'm an ass, and full of crap

[Cruisingdad]

I am getting very worried about my friend Giu. He just has not been himself as of late. He has been reminiscing over old racing boats, been violated by a would-be challenger in photoshop, abscent more than present, and picked on by many members who would have never dared before. Is this a sign of what happens when you pass 50 years old, or is it just boom-envy?

My namesake will just have to plow on without my thoughts, probably no loss.

Definitely no great loss... what thoughts.. yours? Nope... no loss whatsoever.. {mutters}What kind of fool doesn't even know a block from a sheave...**/mutters}

Where do you get those blocks without sheaves? Is that a lightweight performance option on trimirans?(G)

[sailingdog]

Nah, it's the gear that Giulietta uses on his boat with the invisible carbon fiber boom....

[sailaway21]

Ohhhhh, so that's what a floating block is. I always wondered about that.(G)

[sailingdog]

No, but WW made a kinda squish sound when that thing crashed!
