yr right. which is why I was thinking that even if I spent a few grand
over the summer, I'd get a chance to live on a boat for a week at a
shot and really get a feel for it. Of course, I'm not so sure there
are many high end boats available. OTOH, I really can't afford a high
end boat. So maybe it'll work out just fine.

It's common practice...after all, you really are in the market (sort
0f)...just don't insist on all day events...

I know it's futile to seek consensus as to a make of boat. But,
I'm seriously considering renting for a variety of designs before
buying. Has anyone else rented a sailboat. Pros and cons? Good
locations around the Chesapeake? The closest place to my old
sailing grounds is in Jersey. www.southriverboatrentals.com

Wow, those are some fairly steep rates. A lot cheaper to look at
boats, then convince the owner for a test sail before
consideration.

John Cairns

Thanks, that's a good idea John.
I wonder, though, how long it would be before my picture with a line
through it is hanging on every dealer's bulletin board.

Heck Scout, just take a week vacation and come down to Georgia. I
have a Catalina 27 on Lake Lanier you can use for a week. Can't
promise wind tho.
JR


wow, thanks JR!



Your are quite welcome and it is a real offer. Plus it would do you good
to see my picture of President Bush on a daily basis.
JR


hahahahaha!
do the eyes move?


Some very paranoid people seems to think so. My heart is pure so they
don't bother me. I think I had better remove it. It doesn't sound safe
around you. I'm really a middle of the road type but my wife makes capt
neal seem liberal.
JR

FWIS - I'm also middle of the road.
I'd like to say balanced, but I don't want to start a flame war, lol.
But . . . don't believe what Neal says about me!

No problem there, I don't believe what capt neal says about anything.
His actions over the last few days makes me think he is coming unhinged.
There are people here that say he is a friend I would think they would
try to get him to calm down and be rational.
You don't have to answer this because it could start some flaming but
not with me because I just ignore him.
