Chewing Wax:
A type personality isn't the same as alpha male. A type just means you'll have a heart attack in your early 40's.

Chewing Wax:
Alpha male means all the chicks naturally flock around you and you have to occassionaly beat the crap out of the shorter, skinny, dreadlock wearing freaks competing for your women.

bela:
Oh, I see. I thought they were similar.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:00:51 pm)

Heruka:
I used to an A type person. I had always thought I would own my own company. But the older I get, the less I care about such things. Sadly. Perhaps when we return from our sail I'll have that drive back in me.

bela:
When is this sail taking place? Does anyone believe this is going to actually happen?
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:04:33 pm)

bela:
My boss said that to me one day. She said "I'm an A type personality" and I felt like saying you're an A type person and you're just a Marketing Production Manager? Shouldn't you be a brain surgeon or something?

Myk Murphy:
I was an alpha male until bela told me i was short. Giggle. I'm 5 10, for christ's sake!
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:05:41 pm)

bela:
Oh sorry, really you looked smaller than that to me. I don't know.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:06:14 pm)

Heruka:
She's a freak. It seems to run in the family. Don't worry Myk, taller people generally die earlier. We leave next fall for a year or so on the ocean. The idea was to end up in California, and settle there. Live on the boat while we settle. It's going to happen. It is.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:09:10 pm)

bela:
I'm no freak. I'm not that tall, I'm only a little over 5" 7. Its the boots that make me look big.

Myk Murphy:
Were you wearing four inch heels? Maybe i slouched. Heh.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:11:28 pm)

Heruka:
Down the east cost, through the Carib. Long on the northern coast of South American(dangerous waters: pirates) Through the Panama canal. Into the South Pacific, through French Polynesia, Cook islands, Nuie, Somoan islands, and north to Kiribalti then to Hawai'i. Then finally to Cali. coast.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:11:39 pm)

bela:
I was wearing about 3 inch heels. So I was a little over 5" 10 maybe.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:11:56 pm)

bela:
Where are you setting sail?
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:12:38 pm)

Queenie:
arrgh
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:13:01 pm)

Myk Murphy:
Bela was sitting most of the time, dominated by the tuba, so she looked small. I think.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:16:15 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I'm psyched for when they come to Buffalo to play.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:17:48 pm)

bela:
I don't really see that happening any time soon.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:18:22 pm)

Chewing Wax:
oh
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:18:34 pm)

Heruka:
Where? we're leaving from east of Cleveland. Where I am at right now. I've been working on the boat all summer. Not really all summer. I didn't do any work on it while my father was ill. Nothing. Nil. Nein. That really set me back as far as time goes though. But apparently, when long distance sailing, even the best plans never really come true. It gets blurred out there. you stay somewhere longer than you had expected, maybe the weather hs delayed you for a while. It's a fly by the seat of you pants operation. Nothing is laid in concrete.

Heruka:
The initial desyination was New Zealand. But that's an extra 1000 miles each way. Or over a weeks sail each way.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:21:07 pm)

Chewing Wax:
A week? Try eight weeks. You're doomed.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:22:58 pm)

bela:
I would go insane on a boat for that long.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:25:59 pm)

Chewing Wax:
It happens all the time.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:26:19 pm)

Chewing Wax:
It's like The Shining on water.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:26:29 pm)

Heruka:
Yeahm wehn we're anchored off PukaPuka basking in the glory of the the Southern Hemisppehere's wintertime sun, I'll send you an email on just how doomed we really were.

Chewing Wax:
What the old timers used to call cabin fever.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:27:51 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Send a postcard from Pukapuka. That would really rub it in.
(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:28:37 pm)

Heruka:
I'll send one from somewhere. Some off the beaten path island. Maybe Nuie. Pukapuka doesn't have a post office. It's too small. Not big at all.

(Mon Nov 4, 2002 - 12:34:23 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Pukapuka

Decoy:
What if you get becalmed?

Myk Murphy:
Heruka needs to get a world phone with web access to keep up posted on daily events. Posting stuff like: "day 58. food is all gone, for three days now. Wondering how bertha will taste if lightly seasoned and grilled on the "foreman jr."
