But my next boat is better and faster than yours. I'm just turning 41. My
stepping stones are part of a learning curve that I enjoy and it outpaces
yours.

Your stepping stones do NOT outpace mine.

I'm afraid they have. The 34XL is more boat than you own. Faster, fancier and
better built. By the end of next summer I'll have taken two good long cruises.
Meanwhile I've sailed far more boats than you and have inside dope on boats
that you'd have to pay to get!

Sorry,

RB
