A couple days ago when I was in Stuart moving my boat, I talked to two

I s'pose all of my cruising will be short hops cuz coming home is just
so dang nice. *Ligustrum and Magnolia is blooming and their scent is
so thick you can almost taste it in the air. *Soon it'll be the
gardenias blooming and then Crepe Myrtle and Kudzu, gawd it's nice. *I
guess my ancient age of 54 has caused me to slow down and
smell .....all the plants here and decide I like living on land.

Well, you'll never have to make boat repairs in exotic locations...
