Hey Alex, I just found your website after watching an old episode of Lattitudes and Attitudes where you presented a segment on the Southern ICW. I am very impressed by your philosophy and your willingness to help others such as myself achieve their sailing and cruising dreams. By the way reading your post above was very nostalgic as the Nyack Boaters Club was my first “yacht club” ever and my very first mooring for my very first boat. I have owned several boats since and have belong to quite a few clubs but will never forget them. Thank you.

Alex,

I feel a tad sorry for this guy; the angry owner of Petersen’s. Sooner or later karma is going to visit him. It always does. Without exception. Sometimes in an instant. Sometimes during a season. But it always comes.

Shane,

already have an email in to him, the hawsepipe is not as burly as the one I had on my westsail 28. Just happy the boat is safe!

Bud sold me replacement cast hawse pipes for my W32 about 10 years ago. The spun originals are one of the very few weak points. Replacement was pretty straightforward. The mating edges need to be cut/ground down to fit. Best wishes for a speedy escape south.

The signup and profile creation is all good. The only issue is that when uploading the avatar picture there is an error. It happens after you’re done cropping the picture and you click the “Crop” button. A “Page or file not found” error appears. As far as I can tell the picture uploads and crops correctly – the message seems unrelated.

The problem is probably in the WordPress module trying to hand off information to a nonexistent PHP page. It’s a common issue with these component based CMS software packages. Your IT guy should be able to troubleshoot it in about 20 minutes.

Andy, isn’t that the truth. It is amazing though how much one person can influence the world around themselves for good or bad. It’s so important to not associate with negative people. My mother used to say that like attracts like. Basically , you lay down with dogs, you wake up with flees. Everyone in the community here knows him and just stays away.

How did the sign up and profile building process go? If anyone has any comments as to how the new site works, please let me know.

Don’t let it get to you. Maybe it’s just the universe balancing out all the good luck you had with obtaining your awesome boat. Also, at least you only had to deal with that guy for a few weeks. He on the other hand has to live with himself for a lifetime.
