Default Re: "Professional Rigger"

I splice a few halyards and do some work on friends boats, and they call me a rigger. Believe me, I would never call me that - I'm just a hobbyist who loves messing about in boats. Riggers have to make a living and push stuff out the door. I'm too slow for that, and I'm fortunate to have a decent job. Brion, I would refer to you as the "Consumate Professional" due to your honesty and your contributions to this art that makes if fun for hobbyists like us to tag along. I wouldn't take offense to 'Professional' moniker if I were you, I think they are just trying to distinguish your work from a myriad of work that has been done out there, with less than professional results. I'm sure you've seen your share of it. My two pennies,

Aaron
