Never claimed to be well off, pinhead! I drive a Subaru! I sail a C&C 32 from
the early 80s. Buying the newer 34xl isn't that expensive either.

You answered his allegations but not the root question "... why do you
haul your boat?".

Few people go sailing around here in mid-winter. I don't particularly care for
frosty sailing myself, though I used to do it on the Catalina. We even sailed
in the snow, which is beautiful, but not something I seek to do often.

HEY we don't want any more snowbirds down here. Especially ones like Bob.

south for the winter. You wouldn't have to go all the way to Florida, there
are plenty of places much closer to NYC that you could move your boat for
the winter months and drive or fly to the boat on long weekends or holidays.
You could stay aboard so escape hotel and dining out for every meal so the
costs wouldn't be outrageous. Then you could sail year 'round. If your
passion for sailing is as strong as you say then I would think you would
envy us who can sail whenever we wish, whether it be June or January.

I don't usually defend Bobby. However, I feel that you have been very
unfair to him. He has *never* claimed to be well off.

Thanks, Donal. If I were, I'd have that damn Baltic NOW instead of having to
wait until my late 40's!

If you had understood my comments about the "cost" of Setanta, then you
wouldn't have to wait more than 6-9 months!


You don't *have* to accept "stepping stones". It's entirely your choice!
