Default The Lobster Boat -- uh, Hatteras

“We had the Hatteras for two years. Last year, out of the cold clear,
a broker approached me with an offer to buy. Our continued Florida
lifestyle was somewhat up in the air, because the two breadwinners
hereabouts were about to be offered long-term but temporary
assignments they could not refuse in the Washington, D.C., area. So,
after being romanced a little, we sold the Hatt for almost precisely
what we paid for it. Not bad, after two full years of use. And I mean
full years. So, we didn't "make" any money off the Hatt, but we didn't
lose any either. The proceeds were prudently invested.”

I'm glad it worked out, at least for one of the breadwinners. The other
bread winner went on to star in the Pillsbury commercials. You might
recognize him. Someone pokes their finger in his belly and he giggles.
