Just wondering.
Mine is still being built and.....
Not only I talk to her as I already kissed her a bunch of times. Maybe it is because I am seeing her growing. It is like an old parent watching his granddaughter growing from baby to woman.
It is a very interesting and curious relationship.
Fernado, It's no secret to any of us that you have actually "slept with" Rainha by now.
Just wondering.
Is it safe to assume you don't believe in God as the same test used to test for a response will likely yeild the same result.Obviously not as evidenced by previous posts. But I don't. I don't talk to the plane I fly, either. They are both just machines. They work or they don't work, and if the don't work they get fixed.
Here's a simple test you can do to determine just how your boat regards you. Cut out a one-foot square piece of fiberglass matte. Set it in the exact middle of your dining room table. Halfway between the matte and the left end of the table set a pair of obstacles-- salt and pepper shakers or whatever--- exactly a foot and a half apart and in line with the matte and the end of the table. Then sit down in front of the glass matte.
Ask the piece of glass matte for advice on any subject you need advice on. Write down what it says. Then ask the glass matte to move from the middle of the table to the left end of the table making two 90-degree course adjustments on the way to navigate directly between the two obstacles. Note how quickly and accurately the piece of glass matte does this.
You now know the impact your talking to the boat has on it.

I don't talk to the whole boat so much, but I have a favorite engine and one less than favorite engine, who I speak to on a regular basis. The port engine is "sweetheart" or "baby" and the starboard I call simply "You Pos!"
Baby never fails, starts anytime you turn the key, doesn't leak fluids, never needs her valves adjusted, purr's like a kitten and always brings me home.
POS is hard starting, developes seeping oil leaks which come and go, needs a valve adjustment twice a year, will start to surge with the slightest obstruction in it's fuel filters, sucks junk into the strainers and gets cranky at the worst times.
Their serial numbers are 3 numbers apart, so I think must be a case of the bad child!! At one point I contemplated bring a priest down and having an exorcism!!

That is funny! I call it the "cursed Port engine"
....I quickly realized I had been caught with my pants down. What should I do to bring peace to the family?
True thing--- The then-proprietor of the very experienced diesel shop we use in Bellingham told me years ago that their records over many years of being in business show that in the twin engine boats they work on--- and it's a lot--- the port engines suffer more problems more frequently than the starboard engines. He had no explanation for this, only the numbers to show it's true.
I also have been known to hang onto the branch of a tree when I'm enjoying its fruit.....just in case it can feel my pleasure.
