Once, not long ago...I had a nice C&C 32, nicer than most of the other
boats from this group, but still quite dated. Now we own a much more
modern 35 footer, faster and nicer than all of the boats here!
But still more telling....these two photos....it's going very fast
indeed...

That's nice! But you are still living in a garbage dump and sailing in a sewer.
Tsk tsk .....

Actuially I'm living in Kew Gardens, which has a zero murder rate and 3
local parks. Thomas is about to benefit hugely from money made on our
Brooklyn house, which is now worth over a million dollars. And of
course the LIS is one of the cleanest sailing areas in the USA....far
more so than the Chesapeak for example.

Vito, your quality of life isn't even close to our level. Tonight we
dine at the Black Whale for a private party after screening Why We
Fight. Enjoy your trailer!

You have a grat quality of life because you live in a large city. The
quality knocks on your front door. How would you survive in a rural setting
where everything is by your own hand?

Looking at the picture of your boat it looks like the mast is very far
forward given the hull form. Is your mast shorter than "normal"?

Bwahahahaha! That's for sure!! Smelling my neighbors cooking (and worse) and
listening to their bawling brats isn't "quality", it plain sucks. Same goes for
childish 'dress up' cocktail parties. Face it, anything within 250 miles of NYC
is a garbage dump - certainly no place for children. OTOH paying $million for a
tenement does impress me - with its stupidity. One could get a nice place for
that.

I choose to live in a fine antique farm house over 100 years old, with a history
and character, centered on several private acres backed up on 200 more. It's
not perfect - I can still see two of my neighbors' houses through the woods in
winter but it beats suburbia, let alone a city tenement. I can sit on my rear
deck and watch the deer, foxes, chucks, turkey and bears or even shoot one for
my supper should I choose. Of course you have wildlife too: rats, pigeons,
winos, addicts ....

We entertain almost every week when at home. SWMBO plays harp and piano expertly
and our friends play violin, dulcimer and other instruments so we have little
need to pay for entertainment. And fortunately we can afford homes large enough
to entertain in, obliviating any need for 'private parties' at public eateries.

If this idyllic life gets too pastoral, we take our motorhome from our driveway
for a trip to some national park, or with summer coming perhaps a weekend on our
boat or ride our H-D's out to California again and visit friends there. But
I'll prolly wait for fall when the leaves change in the Rockies to do the
latter. Spring is the time to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway end to end and enjoy
the mountain laurel altho I might miss that this year - gotta go to Florida and
look at some homes near Canaveral (Winter cold grows tiresome). Maybe sail down
this summer - you're right, the bay is almost as filthy as LIS. Tomorrow, I'll
drop off the Yamaha and Triumph at the shop for spring service then lunch at the
botanical garden to discuss history with some learned friends. Haven't decided
where to sup tonight, we enjoyed Mexican last night, Italian the night before at
rather nice restaurants, and corned beef and cabbage at home before that. I'd
make a Yankee pot roast myself but Yankees are so hard to clean. So perhaps
we'll go out for Indian or Chinese again ....

Nope, my quality of life isn't even close to yours, thank goodness. I feel
sorry for you and your kid .

Ouch.

Tell your wife to use lube on your rear the next time and it might not
hurt so bad!
Still got that Sadilina 28??

If you wait for fall for the leaves to change in the Rockies all you'll see
is naked decidious trees.

As for colours, there is only one - yellow.

Amen!

Depends on what you call fall. We usually go through Colorado, etc. in late
September after all the kids are off the streets. The quaking Aspen are pretty
albiet not as colorful as the hardwoods in the appalachians. Of course there
are some that prefer Central Park .... grin
