Advise :

1-Wear a bib and put the Margaritas in spill proof cups
2-Strap yourself in with a four point harness
3-Don't lay down in the forward berth for your nap
4-Keep the life jacket and flares real handy

Well, Jim is a Texan. Hopefully he has some rodeo experience,
although I must admit wondering if there is a cleat anywhere on that
boat that would hold the boat to anchor in a storm.
