Pathetic

Today it was 80 degrees out with scattered clouds and a south wind at 15 knots. In other words, perfect for sailing. Yet incredibly, all of the large keelboats (cruising and racing fleets) sat at their pins all afternoon. The J29 (technically part of the J fleet) was sailed for awhile, then put away at 2:30. The J24's sat at their pins too. Nor did the red flag go up until just before 5:00 (and then only for a little while). Thus, on one of the best sailing days of the year, dozens of club members were deprived of sailing all afternoon on any of the large keelboats!

Or were they..?

Apparently, there's hardly anyone who even wants to sail the keelboats if they can all just sit at their moorings on a day like this. So let's not hear any more crap about there not being enough keelboat lessons. And how can Chris Frye be teaching lessons..? He can barely tie a bowline.

  1. Yes, it was very sad to see the dozens of members lined up to try to get a ride on a Sloop or a scow, some waiting patiently for hours, only to get turned away.

    Oh, wait...

  2. So you're saying that no one wants to sail, or that there just aren't enough club members for the fleets that we have? Or, everyone in the club is a 9 to 5'er?

  4. If Chris Frye's knot-tying skills are not what got him hired, maybe it was his sexual harassment skills?

  5. Can you elaborate on that? Or are you just making things Up? It's bad enough that this blog criticizes every aspect of the club, now it starts talking about people who have given their heart and souls to the club and got little in return.

  6. Frye gave his heart and soul and got little in return? What the hell did he expect... weekly blowjobs?

    Oh! My bad... did he really expect that? Huh. That would explain the sexual harassment.

  7. Many had wondered why sugartits has neither a heart nor a soul. Apparently he gave it to the club.

  8. Hey Fleet Commander,

    When are you going to comment on the hiring committee that will be selecting the next head of instruction? Several of the members are themselves applying for the position.
