"You can't take it with you."

We bought our first boat on the way home from the funeral of our best man.
More than tweny years ago. The funeral was on the far end of Long Island
(his
ashes were scattered in Three Mile Harbor) and the yard was on the way
back to
Manhattan.

A funeral is always a reality check, especially when the deceased is someone
close and young. I think a lot of boats have been bought after funerals.


Yes. Mine was doubly so.
