The boat has the hull integrity of a take-out
styrofoam box and the appeal of Miami River flotsam.

Wait, are we talking about Billy Jane's wife now???

Bwahahahahaha!

Well Thank You Very Much for ruining a perfectly good post.... since when
have you suddenly decided to let the truth interfere with the facts???

Man but we got fog from hell around here. I went out to get the paper this
morning and I couldn't see the car in the driveway from the front door of
the house. It's like 20 feet away!!!! It took me a half hour of rowing
around to find my boat at her anchor. I set the strobe and a motion
activated bell.... had a bit of OP rum in my coffee and headed back to
shore.

Big T-storm in Jersey City today. We have like 175% humidity right now. You
walk outside and your clothes start sweating.

Scotty,
The truth shall set you free.

175% humidity? Your clothes sweat?

I'm glad I don't live in Jersey.

It's been pn and off here for the past 3 days and it's supposed to be
wetter tomorrow. At least we don't have to sprinkle the
lawn. Weekend's supposed to be dry, though, so hooray for that.

Would beg to differ. We had a few for sale in these parts several years back
and the hoping-to-be-p.o.'s claimed to have spent up to 28k for their boats
new, which is not that cheap for a cheap boat. I think the 26x got dissed so
badly that it was redesigned(cosmetically, anyways) and given a new name to
distance it from the X.

Yeah Neal, I'm sure the man responsible for ''the WORLD'S best selling
cruising sailboat'' is concerned with your input.

No lie. I did receive e-mails from somebody claiming to
be Roger MacGregor and the e-mail came from the
same city where the factory is. I checked out the headers.
