Captain Paul...

One of the invaluable aspects of this forum is the access that it gives mariners like myself (with a mere 16 months of boat ownership under my belt) to people like CardiacPaul. Yesterday I sent him a PM with specific question about my C30 that required a thoughtful reply from someone who has seen and studied a lot of boats. Half an hour later, that's exactly what I got -- and it was funnier than hell. Anyone who has followed CP's posts might come away with the idea that he's a grumpy young guy with a faulty ticker. He might be grumpy, but he's got a heart of gold and he really knows his ---t. He's like an M&M -- hard on the outside, and all soft on the inside. He's a truly good man, a mensch, and I look forward to meeting him one day. Best to you, Paul!

CP is a good egg... I wouldn't call him a young guy though...

and I'd say he's more like a Peanut M&M... since he's definitely a nut on the inside.

I always looked at him as a grumpy old fart with a smokin hot significant other which wears the pants in the family. oh wait...I fit that description

Yeah, except CP knows something about boats..

I always thought he was more like those chocolate covered cherries...kinda hard on the outside but melts with a little warmth and then goes all ooey gooey on ya!

Why does this thread remind me of Monty Python's "Oscar Wilde" sketch?

"His Highness is like a stream of bat's piss!"

"Whaaaatttt???"

"He shines out like a shaft of gold when all about is dark."

CP is like a day-old cow pie... crispy on the outside, but still warm and steamy within...

I really don't think I want to know how you know this.

Just go for a walk in almost any Texas field to find that out.
