I met a real character today.

The folks at C-Dory marine got me together with a customer to whom they
just
delivered a new 25-footer. We whizzed around Puget Sound for a while so I
could
make some notes on performance, ride, and handling.

The guy just got laid off from Boeing, so he's going back to college to
learn a
new trade. He's going to be a massage therapist.

He's 73 years young!

It's sure a lot of fun to run into a real character. Seems to happen pretty
often around boats. Independent spirits.

Thanks for sharing this, put a smile on my face.
