I feel like I'm being watched (((SPOOKY))) After a few minutes of total frustration not seeing another boat anywhere I happen to look striaght up to see a BRIGHT disc (((SPOOKY))) Needless to say I got outta there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,missing time? none that I remeber .. thats a true story take it for what its worth

HOLY CRAP! Same thing happened to me.

I was typing on sailnet one early morning by first light, then saw another sailaway21 post - patchy logic///scratch my head, then I slid to the edge of my seat ((front side)) when I read what I thought was a coherent argument (((at first))) then the flashing warning lights went off from my consciousness --ok-- so I paid it no mind and continued on my way to my favorite threads then the topic lifted to the top and I felt like he was being read (((spooky))) After a few minutes of total frustration not seeing another thread anywhere I happen to return back up to his thread to see another reply (((Spooky))) just to find out it was him answering himself. Needless to say I got outta there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,missing time? Everytime I strugle through his posts.. thats a true story take it for what its worth

HEHE!

I've seen ghost ships.
I swear I saw something one night, looked like an anchor light.
I could see the outline of the mast, the shadow of the hull, everything seemed like it was a boat lazily at anchor. Next minute GONE!

I once saw a Continental flight overhead with the face of an alien Portugese guy screaming out the window. Scared the hell out of me.

Looks like someone has absolutely zero sense of humor! Must be a tough life to lead.
