I've realized one of my problems with cruising (or any long vacation)
is I reach "scenic overload" where pretty things become mundane, "just
another beautiful vista". *My mind can hold only so many of these

else have this issue?

I don't have that problem. The reason being: there are way too many totally
ugly and ineptly-sailed boats in sight daily that it wants to make be barf
because they are so cluttered and lubberly maintained. Here is one good
example of which I speak.

But, to be fair, Flying Pig does have one quite comely attribute: She's on
the right:

I just have to wonder what the world's come to when a desirable woman like
that puts herself in such slovenly circumstances? If she would sail with me,
I would be happy to teach her what higher standards are all about.

I've been aboard the Flying Pig several times and it is a pretty good
boat for the kind of liveaboard cruising that they are doing. It
would be easy to argue little nits here and there but that's mostly a
matter of personal taste. By the way, Lydia seems perfectly happy
with Skip, the FP, and the life style.
