Any thinking of just selling their sailboats and buying a good rock
tumbler and maybe also maybe take up playing the banjo???
Cuz that's what it means to give up sailing. You don't compromise by
buying a trawler. Compromise would be a Fisher 37 or a Nauticat. A
trawler means you GAVE UP SAILING.
Period. And spare me the crap about sailing dinks around. Doug doesn't
do it anymore. If you haven't time for a sailboat, you haven't time for
a trawler and a dink!
Your friends are as gay as Doug.


Fairly sure I never mentioned time as an issue, but I'll let them know
what you think. Sure they will be as concerned about your opinion as
I am.
