Do you have a boat? Want to talk about that, instead?

Yes, more than I can count. Should we start with the canoe and all
of the inflatables, or would you rather start with the trawler and
runabout? I think my son's windsurfer is still in the storage locker
if that is of interest.

I'm SO impressed with your stable! Now that we have your opulence on
the table, could we just talk about boating in general?

I'm glad you're impressed with my stable. If you look closely you
may be able to spot the back end of a horse somewhere in your mirror.

Let me gently remind you that you did ask if any of us had boats. And
let me also remind you that boats care little for politics left or
right, only port and starboard.

For what it's worth, I learned something new today while walking the
Key West waterfront, always an adventure. A small party boat had
just docked and the mate was throwing left over live bait to a school
of tarpon lurking under the dock. The tarpon were big, 5 to 6
footers, and they were snapping up the bait fish like jelly beans,
small oval shaped, silvery fish about 2 inches long. I asked the mate
what they were and he replied with something that sounded like
"maharrah".

I'd never heard of maharrah so I tried to Google it up when I got back
to the boat. After several search variations and a few clues from
Google I finally found it. As it turns out, the correct spelling is
actually Mojarra.

Like I said, learn something new everyday.

Take good care of that horse.



Maybe you need to look in that mirror, too. If you think listing your
assets is what I was talking about when I accused people here of being
boatless, you are getting pretty self centered.

If you'll note, I never asked anybody what KIND of boat they had. The
only reason I posted what I owned was that I was asked.

I can remember when boat snobbery was unacceptable in this newsgroup.

Right, would that have been before Skipper and harry, or even my boat
business and harry, et al?? Cause I have been here well over a decade
and harry has always been a boat snob... even though most of his boats a
imaginary...
