Smart thing to do is invest in many filters before kicking off.


A smarter thing to do is have a *sailboat* without a motor. I know why you guys don't sail very much.
It's because you spend half of your time getting cozy your motors. Then you spend the other half of your time
talking about how you get cozy with your motors. Duh! Then you go broke buying stuff for them.
Back yard mechanics is all you are. You wouldn't be happy just sailing.
In general, men are so clueless. Always putting on some kinda act. Sailors don't have black fingernails.
Men with black grease under their nails are pretty gross. No offense, Joe. I think your a sailor at heart but
you just got off track somehow.
Joe's problem's like most other people who live aboard their sailboats. The get them way big for the space
for all their boat things. Then they fill them up again with everything you'd find in an apartment. Then they
have to have a motor because their boats are so big and heavy and low in the water the sails hardly work.
Then their motor becomes the centerpiece of their boats and their lives. They worship at the internal combustion
altar. The sails are all but forgotten. Why bother when it takes 30mph of wind to make the boat go using them?
In another post somebody said forty feet's as small as he'd want to live in. Duh! Maybe admit to yourself
you don't want to sail. You want to live in a house that floats but never goes anywhere using the sails. Make
yourself happier. Get a motorboat. At least then you don't have to pretend your a sailor.
