It was interesting for a while to have the resident village idiot
back, but now I'm not so sure.

There's always the risk that some newbie will take him seriously and
try to use a Bayliner as an artic ice breaker while carrying 8 people
with full fishing gear and the mandatory jerry jugs.

He was right about one thing however, the Skookum 53 is one heck of a
long range cruiser. The people we met on the trip south this fall are
now past the BVI and headed for Antigua. It carries 1700 gallons of
diesel and has a range of over 5,000 miles.
