I have a married friend who always wanted to buy a nice sailboat big enough
for him and his wife and two dogs and go sailing off into the sunset when he
retired. Instead the wife talked him into buying a big bus of a motorhome.

Think the poor fella will be happy motoring around and fighting traffic?
Not to mention buying expensive diesel fuel for the thing that probably
gets four or five mpg? Not to mention those horrible KOA campgrounds.
Not to mention how much he will be contributing to the carbon dioxide
load and global warming...

You are one of the lucky ones to have a wife who has her head screwed on
straight. Poor Doug's wife's neck is cross-threaded. But, I guess it just
goes to show that one pays for one's mistake in a mate one's entire life.
(The woman is probably obese to boot!) Sorry, that wasn't nice.

| Doug King is so smart he thinks a 35s5 has an open transom.

|
| All things considered, it beat the alternative.

| Nice to know I'll be sailing when you're long gone.
