Not everyone wants to sit in a sailboat that's going 3 MPH, and look
at nothing but water.
When you have seen water from horizon to horizon once, it looks
pretty much the same the next time you see it.
Only someone of low intelligence could sit in a boat for weeks at a
time and do nothing.


You got that right!! One trip on the Atlantic ON A BIG BOAT has lasted me a
lifetime and I didn't even cross the whole thing!!
;-)

We did downsize our RV, but the smaller RV gets 1 MPG less mileage than the
larger one did. :-(

At least the co-pilot can help drive it!!
:-)

BTW, we did our recreational enjoyment for years with a boat on the lakes
and want no part of that any more either. Who has the right to tell me how
to spend the kids inheritance if they are not complaining?? :-)

Just put $110 fuel in the motorhome today and it's still not full, but that
was all we could get the 19 cents a gallon discount on. :-(
