Re: The future of the sailing world. Why are there so few young people cruising??

Equine and cattle gases.

There's a device that looks like a hollow awl which is used to relieve a bloated cow (or horse).

But for large dead animals it's just easier to dig the hole (you'll need an excavator unless you're...

Re: Stay out of Georgia

How about helping other people think about cultural and other biases?

If someone actually reacts, that may be a plus. But the usual reactive instinct is FSMike's - censor immediately. A correct...

My, you're both nasty and presumptuous. Such a tale of woe isn't necessarily about me, nor when boaters sit down to share stories do they always get into specifics.

Re: The future of the sailing world. Why are there so few young people cruising??
