Bad boy out on the Clyde.

[grandpaboat]

We spotted a yacht having a cracking sail down the Firth last night. Not on AIS so ca

Here we go again. I really couldn’t give a toss.

 

[Aja]

Saw it as well. 26-27' heading for Kip or Rothesay.

He must have felt as if everyone was watching him through binoculars.

 

[JumbleDuck]

It's not me.

 

[NormanS]

Yes, he would be out there spreading the virus to..............whom?

 

[Aja]

That's not the point. The point is he is the only person who is arrogant and self centered enough to say that he is more important than the rest of us and feels he can do what he wants.

It is the point, the only point in the current crisis.
The sailor may have a legitimate business reason to be out. You don’t know that, I assume, but your assumption has assigned all sorts of ugly traits to the person.

I'm just jealous!

I posted this on Facebook about 15 mins ago.

1529 hours. When you hear the first sound of the ice cream van in 2020 and realise the government have lost control.

Nonsense.

The only point in this current crisis is that well over thirty thousand fellow citizens of this country have died due to a lockdown that was initiated too late and not enforced enough.

And don't lecture me whether I'm assuming anything.

I’ll post what I want Aja.

I can't quite understand how going for a sail would make him or her feel more important than other people. I don't feel particularly important when I go sailing.

As usual, those who are keenest on making up their own rules are also keenest to tell other people not to make up their own rules.

One day we'll look back and wonder just why so many adults all over the world were prepared to tank their economies for years over a bit of mass hysteria. The death toll gets published every day with morbid sensationalism. I'd be prepared to wager that the unreported deaths from other causes such as cardiac arrest and stroke would exceed it even on the worst days but it doesn't sell newspapers or give politcians a chance to look as if they're doing something..

Well once again a thread polarises.

It seems, as its a boaty forum, that there are those who go to sea in many ways that recognise when the going is tough, crew work together and bring the knowledge that the sum is greater than the parts. This has stood the test of time and works.

Then you have the windsurfers, jet skiers and onanists that dont really give a toss for anyone else or anything other than their own satisfaction.

Way of the modern world, I suppose.

Stay safe.

I blame the alveoli. Treacherous turncoats, soon as they get a little bit poorly. Bah.

Here we go again. I really couldn’t give a toss.

Thank you for your valuable and informative input.
