Why on Earth would I be jealous of any vessel that is
too large to be practical?

Not only that but a center cockpit sailboat is a joke.
Talk about catering to women. That's what a center
cockpit is all about. It enables one to walk under the
cockpit to the boudoir from the kitchen. Boats like
this are designed strictly with the little woman in mind.

You embarrass yourself by posting pictures of a
woman's boat because it indicates that you think like
one and probably sail like one. Get out the Favor
wood polish, Michelle, because you're gonna need
it.

Bwwaaaaaah a a h hahhahh!

And, what are you doing using Lady Sailors computer?
I though she dumped you.

I smell jealousy, Neal. What's "too large" when she can be easily
singlehanded by a woman? Oh, I forgot, you don't have the sailing or
boathandling skills of the average woman.
Your best pal,
Mike

Nice-looking boat but too large to be practical.

I know it's been covered, but I don't remember what the best way was to
get
old names off transoms. I have paint as well as vinyl stickies to deal
with. Was it oven cleaner that was suggested? The new documentation
papers
say I need to get the name and hailing port changed "before operating
the
boat" which will be in a couple of weeks when I bring her up from
Ensenada
across the border into the US.

By the way, in case you were wondering. It's OK getting paid to sail
that
50' catamaran up and down the coast all day, but I don't think I'd want
to
do it more than this one season. There's the distraction from all the
beautiful, scantily clad women (I have the best one waiting for me at
home),
the irritation from the darn dolphins and sea lions always getting in my
way, and the people insulting me by offering $100 tips for two hour
trips,
among other things, that really kind of spoil it. But when I can sail
that
great heavy barge 5 knots for hours, dead down wind, wing and wing,
without
the need for a whisker pole or preventer (main traveled clear over, and
the
natural spread of the genoa sheeting point doing the trick) listening to
some good reggae and soaking up the beauty of the Santa Barbara
coastline,
well, it's almost worth it.
I really do miss the long hours cooped up in a tiny office staring at a
computer screen and having you all as the only entertainment available
in
the midst of stress-filled days, honest!
Thanks in advance for any ideas about getting the old name off my "new"
boat.
Life's a beach, then you go sailing,

Mike
