Holy shit that site is real!!! I thought it was a gag. I thought if you actually typed that in it would take you to a site to meet up for gay sex at rest areas and truck stops! Come to find out you can just get that sort of stuff at your local marina. Who knew!?!?

THAT's what gave me the right to order Jeff to move.

I respect pilots, my son is a Major in the Air Force, but flyIng over an anchorage with an aviation chart, while effective, DOES NOT make for a legal way to choose an anchor spot!!!!

What rally gets my goat is Jeff insinuating that CruisersForum, where I AM a vice commodore. That site is THE most repected site for mariners, has lots of expert bluewater experts and has been around longer than gCaptain which I'm just hearing about for the first time.

So you are wrong buddy!!!!

Well here, we're professionals. And I personally have never heard of cruiserforum. So get your pfd donned and take your safety certificate elsewhere.

Huge LOL at "Flag Officer" trolling this place, and it seems like only one person has figured this out. Bravo sir, bravo!

A bigger LOL at a guy that supposedly has an unlimited license not being able to handle a 54' Hatteras. What's even funnier is that the weekend warriors called him out...and the funniest part is that he actually fought with them! May want to consider turning in the man card amigo!

Yachties can be arrogant pricks.

But when we get in rec boats and enter their world we need to know about their rules and traditions too. I am not saying that they are right, but it is best to be aware of their expectations.

I would never mention commercial license or experience if involved in a recreational "incident" like this as they are likely to use that against me with some kind of complaint.

I have had plenty of confrontations with them, and seen them do a lot of dangerous things. I just do my best to keep away from them.

Fellow men of the sea????

I am a mariner that took a Maritime Law class, that doesn't make me a lawyer!!!

You are a lawyer that runs a marina, that doesn't make you a mariner!! Or a fellow man of the sea!

Go back to your Cruiser forum!!

WAFI

True VHF conversation heard in NY Harbor...
Sandy Hook Pilot inbound aboard the new Queen Mary, "On the assist tug on my port bow."
"Assist tug, go ahead Cap."
Sandy Hook Pilot, "Watch out for that WAFI. It's getting close,"
Assist tug, "Yes sir, Cap. But what's a WAFI?"
Sandy Hook Pilot, "That Wind Assisted Freaking Idiot off your port bow!

I just learned a new nautical term!

**Bayrunner** · July 12th, 2012, 08:10 PM

Really?? You must not have ever pushed/towed a barge up the Chesapeake Bay. They are thick around Annapolis.

**rshrew** · July 12th, 2012, 08:24 PM

Pilots around here like to call them rag whippers

**Jim Schneider** · July 12th, 2012, 08:30 PM

Sheet Flappers...At least they are easy to see. It's the kayaks that I spot for a moment in the fog that bother me.

**KPEngineer** · July 13th, 2012, 06:15 AM

We had a deckhand that came from tall ships and did a lot of sailing. He was with us for about six months before he clued in that our use of the term blowboaters was pejorative.

**Swampfox** · July 13th, 2012, 06:22 AM

Let's see...Blowboats, Ragboats, Stickboats, tree-huggers; they are all slow, and are a motorboat when the iron is running!

However, the Maltese Falcon is still a fine vessel.

**tugboatchief** · July 13th, 2012, 09:03 AM

Whistlepissers..... They would blow into port. Ask the price of fuel and whistle when told the price. Then ask to the use the head. Of course the price of fuel was always to much for them but the head was free. I've witnessed this many times when I use to work at a marina when I was a kid. And they never tipped. Blow boaters
