They ask WHY?





It's pretty obvious why, it's to get that stubborn jackass to come home. The fellow teases the jackass into chasing him to where he wants that jackass to go.

Which ones the jackass?

Sam! You awake? Haven’t seen anything from you for awhile. Hope you’re doing well.

I wouldn't describe what I am, as awake. Humming perhaps... ... Not too tired I guess.

We just had the gathering of our clan elders. Gobs of people running around the place for 3 days, some running around it for a week.

I'm elated that it's over. It was however fun.

Clan elders? Are you Amish?

Clan elders? Are you Amish?

No, it's a tribal thing, in this case Jewish. But some of my kinfolk are Christians, so on, so forth, and, and, such.

We had both my born from, and born for, clans there. A clan's ultimate purpose is to organize a list all of those ones, one may not marry or have children with. Folks musn't interbreed.

Oh, didn't realize the caption didn't show. Same shot, same time, same place once a month.

You certainly were not on vessels which were made to deliver a pleasant ride.

An interesting personal observation about sea sickness. Some say it is all in one's mind, and I guess it is. I can succumb to sea sickness if the motion is too wild when I am in a subordinate position on a crew. On a ship I would take those salty pills, or use a patch if it got rough.

However on my own boat where I was in command, which was a 30 foot IOR sailboat, which I did purposely take offshore in storms, I never have experienced a bit of motion sickness. For me that mental aspect of being in command was a cure for the mental aspect of seasickness.

On ships I never have been in command, or for that matter have been a part of the deck crew. Where I was working, was down below the water line, down in the engine spaces most of the time.

I found that how high one is located in a vessel makes a big difference to how it feels. I don't like being in a bow, especially up near the deck level, I much prefer to be below the water line, in the stern, the ride is better for me there.

Took a cruise many moons ago in the Leeward Islands. The ship was a 300' sailing vessel named the Fantome. The first night only night we were in the open sea, and there was a force 4 storm. Nothing too major but the landlubbers were lining the rails. The next day the captain said the only cure for seasickness was to sit under a tree

I stayed occupied by remaining above deck at the bar, and eating peanut butter crackers. Later I fell asleep to the pitching of the ship.

I've heard about that sea sickness cure before, but not for a long long time.

I used to like being out in force 4 and even up to force 5 winds and sea state in a sailing vessel. I regard that mild storm sea state condition as being ideal for sail.

I agree. Given that a Force 8 is a full gale and a Force 12 is a hurricane, a Force 4 is relatively benign. Nonetheless, there was spray coming over the bow which a few passengers found disconcerting

That was the ship where I manned the helm later in the cruise. No force 4 winds though, lol.
