Tidal lakes.... now that's a new one.....
Rivers....creeks....
I guess that the Gippsland Lakes are tidal though... but I don't qualify those as a fresh water lake in the Lake Colac, or Eucambene, Cairn Curran, Hume kinda way.....

I'm talking about Westernport, silly....but of course Gippsland also qualifies...
Western Port ...... ah... home of the best grass beds for King George whiting....
However... Western Port could hardly fit the description of Lake, could it?

This is turning into a discussion on semantics! LOL .......
So ... in sailing vernacular is a waterway a somewhat protected stretch of water (ie Westernport, Port Phillip) as opposed to open water? (ie Bass Strait, Tasmans Sea etc)

in a nutshell....you've almost got it! A waterway is an enclosed area of water such as a lake, river, channel or a bay. Open water is anything from 2.5 miles offshore. In between its called coastal waters.

If you selectively glance back through the pages, you might discover that often the main topic of conversation was the weather.
This happened mainly because the person who kicked this thread into life was a sailor so it was often his first observation to "the world" in general as he would have rather been out on the deck of a 30 footer than stuck at his computer.

I know how that feels...there have been many times where I've been caught out examining the wind cinditions when I should have been doing something more work related...

So what else distracts you - other than the wind conditions, I mean?

I don't know why it should sound familiar to you at all......except that it is quite a well known line.

It just does, I know I've heard it somewhere before (and there's some truth in it although I wouldn't reject a person only on the colour of their hair
)...did you know the Sydney Morning Herald dedicated a whole blog to the subject?http://blogs.smh.com.au/lifestyle/asksam/archives/2007/04/sam_and_the_city_tv_a_fetish_f.html
