I'd always thought that Goucho Marx was the originater of “I’d never be a
member of a club that’d have me as a member.” I was surprised that a quick
search on it found it being attributed not only him, but to W. C. Fields
and Woody Allen as well. I guess great minds think alike.

And thanks, Capt. JG for the compliment. I agree. It's a very nice boat
and it's a rare time that I find myself aboard and at some point don't
tell myself, "Gawd, I love this boat!"

As far as using Ernest Scribbler's number, I've no idea which of us had it
first. Tricia Jean was built in 1979 (the 192'nd Tayana 37 built), but
I've only had her since 2001, though we've logged close to 20,000 nm in
her during that time. Yours is also a might fine looking vessel. Built
for a different purpose, but none-the-less, a great example of the class.

You're welcome. I think WC Fields wins by a nose.
