Sea levels rising less than half as fast, no acceleration!

I learned to steer by a compass at age 5 but had to stand on a wooden box to see.
I have almost 50 years experience fishing the North Atlantic and was born on an island 90 miles out to sea.
I learned to row before I learned how to ride a bike.
I am a licensed marine engineer and design, build and operated ocean going
hydraulic dredges.
I live on a tidal pond on Cape Cod.

See sear, the problem with the internet is it is just like life, no matter how big of a fish you are, there is always a bigger one.

Nice pissing contest though.
Thanks

omg

What a pity you're the down-winder on that one !!

a) It was NEVER a competition.

b) I haven't begun to empty my bladder about it.

c) Don't flatter yourselves. I couldn't POSSIBLY care less about you or whatever, whatever, whatever.

I disclosed a few details about my personal history.

I NEVER said I was emperor of the cosmos.

If you report to the nearest emergency room, the med. techs. there may be able to help.

And I'd like to extend my personal thanks to you.
Just when I think I have a practical grasp of where the absolute bottom is; some freakazoid like you slimes along and proves to me the bottom is yet far lower than I previously thought.

"You live on the Hudson." g #38

Did, in the previous millennium. Does this look like shorefront property to you?

BTW
beautiful day today.

Nice view. For a land locked person. It is better to know by personal experience of which one speaks instead of relying on data one cannot confirm themselves. Just saying.

You claimed to know more about winds, tides, hull designs, whatever.

You don't.

You can shut the fuck up now. My youngest son has more maritime knowledge than you. He also aced the Power Squadron course by the way when he was 15.

You are a braggart who claims humility.
I laugh at you.

**sear** · 02-19-2017, 05:50 PM

"You claimed to know more about winds, tides, hull designs, whatever.
You don't."

Thanks mommy.
Whatever you say.

I guess I'm just an ignorant noramus.
Thank gorsk I have divine geniuses like you to remind me what a steaming turd I am!!

Please be sure to remind me at least four times a day. Steaming turds isn't two smart in the head you no. [what a bunch of gaping ass-hole losers!!!

Sorry if your climatological fantasy fell apart but it did. Pull your big girl pants up and deal with it.

"You are a braggart" R #49

a) Thank you.
I'm flattered that you would misinterpret my factual disclosure as braggadocio.

It never was.
It was simply an honest reply to a specious question.

b) "You claimed to know more about winds, tides, hull designs, whatever.

You don't." R #49

EXCELLENT !!

Prove it. Your 100% unsupported claims are not the criterion of truth madame.

I GENUINELY don't know what spectacular coup you girls think you have scored here.
I disclosed a few details about my childhood history.

- I NEVER SAID I WAS THE EMPEROR OF THE COSMOS

- I NEVER SAID I WAS BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU, OR ANY OF YOU FOR THAT MATTER.

- I'm EXTREMELY flattered that you all perceive me as the one to beat.
But I'd have conceded that before the starting gun; if only any of you had confessed it was a competition.

If you want to pretend I don't know how to swim, or that I drown to death in the bathtub 97.4% of the time, binge on. Tell the Easter Bunny I said hello.

How pathetic it is you have no conception of how ludicrous, how embarrassingly shallow you all look by trying to pretend your vastly superior and absolutely uncontested supreme nautical skills are compared to my land-lubber troglodytism.

But I understand.

It is those that have so little going for them that try to put others down, in a failed effort to lift themselves up.

In vivid contrast, it is those like me whose résumé is so superb, that recognize your shallow desperation.

Don't worry.

I could notify NYT, CNN, WSJ, FNS etc
but you're simply not worth their interest, or mine for that matter.

Be sure to have a safe and enjoyable Presidents' Day celebration.

No. It is no better. Most of the cities used to be about getting things done. Now it is all about feelings and not offending people. Shit does not get done. Pretty simple.

What exactly isn't getting done?
