I've had lots of experiences of the close up and personal with
bears, also. Was trapped in a UP outhouse for several hours
while one traipsed around outside...was one of the high points of
my life (NOT...even 3 minutes in a primitive outhouse is 3 too
many...)....
That wasn't a bear--that was just Marv.

snort coulda been...he still cooped up in his floating xodo?
Now he has a 15' Boston Whaler with a 60hp 4-stroke outboard. He
and Roni spend a lot more time on that than on the 42. Or didn't
you know they bought a 42 footer?

Max
Yeah..they bought that the year before we left Crosswinds...surprised
it hasn't turned into something else by now...she rally took the
"sailor" right out of him...
He still sails, often with us, but occasionally on his boat. But the
Whaler is a new wrinkle for him. I'm worried about that.

Max
She's been rooting for a trawler for at elast the last 10 years, ya
know...

No, I didn't know. And we spend a lot of time with them. But it
doesn't surprise me.
Would it surprise you that my wife and I are considering a Maine
lobster-type boat? Trawlers are okay, but more space than we need.
Further the lobster boat can go under most closed bridges while
something with a flybridge has to wait for an opening. Better on the
ICW, for example.

Max
Nah...doesn't surprise me...after all, you're an ex-motorboater...

Yup. I've never referred to myself as a sailor or a powerboater--just a
boater. We have kayaks and a Kevlar canoe, too. Nothing quite like being
attacked by a mute swan when kayaking through the swamp below the old
Bakery.
