What Do We Think About Climate Change

[Pericles]

Masalai,

I only suggested a move to another thread on DE boats, not that my call sign would be Foxtrot Oscar.

A mocking dandy in the big-city crowd, alienated, isolated, anonymous, aristocratic, melancholic. I love it!

Peregrinations. Never without the Internet, for it would be a poor fool who would deny succour, when it is so generously offered.

Regards,

Perry

OK it is yours to name your boat... - - Now I must think of an appropriate and inoffensive name for mine... - - What do you think of "toopiare" pronounced as in "2-pi-r" equals the "circumfrence"

Circumlocution. To talk your way around it!

[Pericles]

"Merry go round". "Roundabout". "Carousel". "Great Circle". "Menagerie Lion". (As in "The Equator is an imaginary line running round the Earth").

pi*r^2 is area, and - - 2*pi*r is circumference, and - - 4/3*pi*r^3 is volume last I did circular maths

2Pirr'y could be considered an acceptable corruption for your boat (interchangable "i/e")

Masalai,

"2Pirr'y could be considered an acceptable corruption for your boat (interchangable "i/e")" That'd work for the tender behind.

I went looking for an email address for Nigel Calder, who writes on nautical matters, but instead I became circumlocuted to Nigel Calder, the British science writer.

Apologies to fans of Stan & Olly.

Perry,

I like the name and the reason for it, you eloquent devil, you.

As to the second ... congratulations.

Many far wiser than me have counselled keeping at least one foot grounded firmly in reality at all times.

CORE, W.Va. - Life jackets are made for people, not dogs. So, when Randy Earl's small boat capsized while he was fishing with his dog Lacy, a black spaniel mix, he stayed in the water with his life jacket while making sure Lacy was OK.

"When the boat flipped over, I put the dog on top of the boat," Earl told The Dominion Post of Morgantown.

While waiting for someone to rescue them on Mason Lake in northern West Virginia, Earl clung to the 12-foot boat's hull. The water temperature was about 50 degrees, said J.M. Crawley, a senior conservation officer for the Division of Natural Resources.

Another fisherman, Jan Thorn, watched from shore as a state trooper paddled out to rescue Earl and Lacy.

"He asked the state trooper to take the dog first," Thorn said. "It was very touching."

Earl, 53, said Lacy means a lot to him and his wife since they lost both of their children in a car accident 15 years ago.

"That dog is like a child to us," he said.<<<<<<

and they say boaters dont care,,,,MucH,,hehe
,,but anyways,,,couldnt ya make "insets" and have "covers" for them so they dont cause drag,,,,then whan ya flip,,"push in" on the covers,,and be able to pull yaself up out of the water, way easier then if ya tried doing the "snail crawl",,,hehe,,,(least that what i thought i looked like when "my friend" flipped his boat hehe")

Norse, Saxons & Jutes - weren't they in with the vikings, rape pillage & generally improving the gene pool in greater england? so I suppose it will be more of the same but further afield?

What is that French phrase "Menage au twa" (cant spell that) & what does it mean ? I thought of something like "three loves" in another language might be amusing - I love the boat, I love the lovely lady and I love sailing...

Reminded me of Wynand's thread "Stranded Mariners tub" and the story on the cats in China - say this in French "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" 'cept a few more than 6 ? ...
