A Coronado 27 has plenty enough room for one sailorman
and a faithful cat to live in. It has enough carrying capacity
for six months cruising if one is willing to collect rain water
as the water tankage is good only for a month or so. But,
water has yet to be a problem even in the far out islands
of the Bahamas.

As for money I have done well in the investment of my
earnings. Consider that I worked in a job that netted
about forty large a year for ten years. Consider that
I saved and invested half of that amount, most of it
tax deferred (deferred compensation program - sort
of like a 401K but for govt. employees). That amounts
to 200K which has grown to about 400K over the ten-
year period. Also, consider my pension which I can
start collecting at full tilt in six more years and Social
Security coming up at the same time. That amounts
to about 18K per year. Oh, I forgot all about my
million dollar inheritance. So, as you can see I
can own any sailboat I choose to own. It just
so happens I really like my Coronado 27 and have
no desire for anything else at this time. The only
way I'd consider a bigger boat is if I met an attractive
woman of means who wished to become partners in a
bigger boat and who wished to go cruising in it.

That's not something that's got even a remote possibility
of eventuating. There simply aren't enough women
out there worthy of me . . .

Certainly beats your crummy financial outlook, doesn't it?

Fact: Living on the hook is something so valuable as to
be worthwhile even if it cost more than living in a Park
Avenue penthouse.

I agree, but not on one of the worst boats ever in a Coronado 27. It's simply
far too small to live on, even for Danny Devito's twin, Capt Neal.
You have no money.
