....and he is trying to sell it I was a little surprised to see the
blistering on a boat that probably spends most of it's life on a
trailer, but at least it isn't $30k+. Katy could paint it blue, for
the "new boat" look, or yellow for the South Florida look and be in
business for less than $5k. Get an old engine block mooring and keep
her boat next to Capt Neal's

Let me make this perfectly clear...having no boat at all is preferable than
having a Mac 26 X, M or any other configuration...I'll go back to sticking a
log on telephone poles and sailing with gunny sacks before I'd consider a
Mac....

Do you have jobs lined up for both of you, or just Mr. Sails?

Sheesh...over 750 posts while I was gone..

Well, here's the news...we won't find out until the end of the week about
the job situation, but it looks very good. The bad thing: very very
shallow....if we did take Chanteuse down, we'd be sitting on her keel half
the time and half to sail 15 miles offshore to find water deep enough for
a
good sail...The good thing: lots of sailing in the area, just need a much
shallower deaft boat...the Fort Myers area isn't nearly as built up as I
thought it would be...not anywhere near as "throbbing" as St. Pete/Tampa
area...lots of hummocks and estuaries, etc to explore. We stayed on
Estero
Island (yourist trap...) which is just south of Sanibel (bigger tourist
trap) A lady was wading in a canal on Sanibel and offered herself for
lunch
to a 15 ft alligator who ended up being euthanized for his efforts (heck,
if
she was dumb enough to wade in a crick...)Went to 3 different nature
preserves, rescued a whelk and a sea urchin ( very tricky, sea
urchins...trying not to get stung, that is...) watched a pair of dolphins
fishing and playing about 30 feet offshore in low tide...really having a
grand time of it....found a poor little manta that must have been
clobbered
by a gas hog...saw the biggest red ant I've ever seen in my life and hope
to
gravy I never get bit by one....found a cute black snake about 2 ft long
with a pretty head (not a pit viper configuration...going to have to look
him up in a book...) ate grouper almost every day. Didn't get sunburned
until the last day, when I listened to Mr Sails who said: You could stand
a
bit more sun...Was a big shocker getting off the plane in Grand Rapids at
midnight...40F from 87F and cold rain...was ready to het right back on the
plane...and then I had to be up at 6am for work this morning! But I had a
great time!

Oh. How's the market up your way? Might be faster to burn it and collect
the insurance.
