Yes, ignoring reality makes everything look better.

Or, one can get a boat that is essentially worthless, like Neal.


Lose the dock (and house?) and anchor out


like Neal

and you're down to fuel, insurance and maintenance.


why stop there, Neal wouldn't have insurance


Slow it down a knot or so, and you'll likely boost fuel economy.

Slow your life down to cruising speed and you'll likely live longer,
cheaper.


So Neal is going to outlive us all???
