Difficult to decide what was
more frightening: being in the right seat of the Cessna when it got

hazy
over Long Island with my VFR friend or suddenly in the soup with 8-10
foot
waves breaking over the bow while trying to find the inlet to Block
Island
Harbor -- with radar gone to s___t with all the turbulence and bilge
pumps
automatically clicking on and off. GPS came to my rescue both times.


8 to 10 feet? Hardeharhar. A mere ripple upon which to play my

friend.

Oh, I dunno...I used to get seasick watching McHale's Navy.

A classic! Nowadays, my sal****er boat (the Double Diamond) sits in a
silly New Hampshire lake. The boaters on that lake are mostly boobs who
are afraid of the ocean. Most don't have radar, GPS, radios, nothing.....
The lake is seriously boring compared to the ocean.

That is why I am considering selling the boat and restarting my flight
training. Anyone interested in buying a boat?? Here she is:
