Lord of the Imbeciles, Egotistical dikhead of the year, tries out his brand new Ezzy 5.8 and within 30 mintues completely destroyed the top two panels

How was this possible not even sailing in the ocaen, not even near a wave, not even near a reef??? How can any body destroy a sail on an estuary? How is this possible you say?????


Read: EGO


Ego first, I had to beat Elmo to shore, 46 going on 16, so I take the boat channel route so I can beat elmo, which is littered with channel markers with jaggered point edges on the top, photo to follow........


Then Read: Channel Marker

Dikhead of the year goes and crashes into channel marker with jaggered pointy bits on top. Not only does dikhead crash into channel marker but top of sail impales itself onto jaggered edges and is stuck, so only way to release sail is to further shred the panels

You come onto a forum and just do one tiny little brag about your holidays .................and............................KARMA............BANG................... Reality kicks in.................................... Life can still suck at times..................... Have had this inner glow after holidays which last night I managed to extinguish very quickly

Hardie, you have to better than me, I would be still out in the middle just boiling even would have stayed out over night just in case I went bezerk!
No body coming within a bulls roar just in case I belted them with the first thing that came to hand.

Hope you can get it sorted without too much ready's flowing out the door.

Comrade Hardie
You have picture of impalement ?
Maybe sail on marker with board hanging in wind ?

I send you sail tape and vodka. Which order you using of them is up to you for choosing.
Just be thinking of many good sailing in Coros you just having... not thinking of ego related impalement !

Lets not feel too much for HardieWhat about the poor Ezzy sailDied far too young in its use[}:)]Would have had a good 4-5 years use if it wasnt for some schoolyard mental operator smashing into a channel markerNow that would of been a good vid on u-tube

Now if some alien landed in the eastuary and saw that thing, what would he think it was???

A mean nasty sail destroyer, it's obviously built just for that purpose!!!!

The question must be asked.
were you on the port or starboard side of the marker, depending on which direction you were going ... upstream or downstream, you may actually have a case against the council

Of course if you were on the incorrect side of the marker STFU (shut the .... up)

Question for all you budding comedians:

Was this a disapproving shake of the head or not?


Ize goez to the sail repairer this morning and explain what happened, and the reaction was as follows:

A dipping of the head, eye closure, then a subtle left to right roation movement of the head? Is that a disapproving shake or not? What else could it have been?

How did it actually happen?

I've felt like a right goose running into stationary objects -- moored boats, channel markers, poles... one moored boat I ran into had someone on deck as well

Was the internal dialogue something like this?
"Gotta get back before Elmo, I can take this shortcut, sure I can point higher than that marker, yep my board is pointing higher than the pole at least, hope the windward edge of my board clears it, oh **** forgot about the sail, here's a gust so I've got to sheet out..."

If it's who I think it is, I can hear him saying under his breath,
"hardie, hardie hardie!!"

Poor Reli, yes there's a saying from the village my sicilian father came from it goes something like this : "how do you make God laugh? Tell him about your plans!!" I was planning to really look after the sail and keep it in good nick for years

Nebb's

You don't know how close that was.

The boy tried cutting me of whilst I was WALKING my gear down the side of the channel.

He tried diving between my board and the windward side of the marker so I would have to stop walking.

It worked, I can't laugh that hard and walk at the same time

Those channel markers are diabolical. I guess the pointy bits are for sticking into the bums of gulls and pelicans. I guess they wouldn't like that. What would Steve Irwin say?
