And that's one of the few, very few, things that can be said in a positive
way about Neal. He's got a boat, he loves it, and that's what counts in
the long term.

It's true. He's one of many here that love their boat. While many of us
would like something different, it's a bit like comparing a pretty girl
on the street to your partner, she may may not be quite a 'luxurious' or
'fast' but she's all you really need and you love her -even for her
imperfections.

Funny, we don't hear Neal talk of his ''next boat'', or call his
Coronado a
''stepping stone''. He seems quite satisfied with the boat he OWNS.

When Neal types such things it only makes it even more clear that he's
no
sailor.
Add to that the following: That he chose one of the cheapest boats
around

and

you get the whole picture. A real sailor would have chosen a Cape Dory
30,

any

alberg or Bristol or even an old Pearson Wanderer. All better in every
way

and

proven designs. Instead he lives on a tiny cramped vessel known to be
poor

in

nearly every regard anc quite comely as well.
