In light of the fact that perfection is a continually elusive
quantity



Sorry you find it so elusive. I found it last night....and with Suzanne
this morning. Perfection is all around you. It only takes perspective
and and open mind to see it.
I hope one day you become mature enough to see this.

Maturity IS the issue, Bubbles. You lack it, therefore you see perfection
where none exists. Your life might be quite satisfactory for you, but
perfect?? Hardly. Are you saying that your boat is superior to, say, a
Swan 64 with a crew of five to sail you around the Sound and serve you
martinis while you and a Victoria's Secret model or two lounge on cushions
in the owner's cockpit? Are you implying that LIS is superior to the Greek
Isles or the Caribbean?

My maturity allows me to know just what a great life I have. I love my wife
of 34 years, and my boat is a fine, comfortable vessel with a great motion
and a decent turn of speed. And our locale is beautiful and offers great
sailing opportunities. But perfect? Hardly.
