I wonder troll or bot?

Or, maybe the story was just worth re-telling, ya think? Enjoy your spotlight, Roy. :)

Probably. The signature is a link to a web page, which I didn't click on, and is typical of spammers.

This brought back memories of a botched landing I had a few years ago with a Wave. A buddy of mine and I were coming into a dock nearly downwind, with jetties on either side of us. We had about a 30 wide isle to get down and had to stop before hitting the dock. I came in on the left side and was going to make a turn to stop at the dock. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but the main snagged on something and wouldn't let out. The boat immediately powered up and took off into jetty in front of us. Naturally, this is all happening below a waterfront restaurant. So we're sitting in the rocks trying to push the boat off and eventually got back, but not without a very intrigued and entertained audience.

That day had an entire book of mishaps and poor decisions.

Good times.

How clever of somebody to copy a post and put it somewhere else. Excuse my language, but these spammers are retarded. I see them everywhere I go online now, I swear. Don't click the link. If a mod is reading this you should delete the post so that guy doesn't get paid...

Deleted the posts. Yes... getting harder for me to spot these guys. I always read these and if they make sense... approve. Have caught a few, but if anyone sees more, be sure to let me know. New batch of spammers coming from India and Pakistan.
