Scotty uses duct tape for all of his sewing needs.

My old Genny has a lot of sail repair tape on her.

How was DC? It was cold and rainy in Hingham, I didn't
stick around long.

Spring time! Cherry Blossom Festival, temps up to the 80's. We came
home to a snow storm!

I stayed with a rich cousin. He gave me a ride in his Ferrari 360
Spider - awesome car but essentially useless. He's in the process of
buying a Doral Alegria, so he had a lot of questions like "do you
really need 3:1 scope when you anchor?", and "is insurance required?"
and "will I use the autopilot?" and "what do you think of paying extra
for A/C in the cockpit?"

If you run into him (or vice versa) tell him I said "hi!"

Oh, a power boat, no wonder I didn't recognize the name.
Just what we need on the Chessy, another clueless power
boater.

It snowed here today.

Better there than here! But it would be fun to take it out once. Bay
Bridge to Norfolk in about 4 hours. It would only use about $600 of fuel.

We had under an inch, but up north they had up to a foot.

I can make that trip in under 3 hours for under $20 on my
BMW.

But your BMW doesn't have four TV's.

One thing I noticed in the specs is that although there are two stoves
(one below, one with the cockpit BBQ) both are electric. That means
that to make a cup of coffee, you have to run the 9 kW genset.

No propane stove at all. Is the BBQ propane?

I believe the presumption is, Jeff, that the boat will seldom, if ever,
leave dock. Big engines, a majordomo genset, and all the bells and whistles
are primarily show stuff for lubbers making their way down the docks on
sunny Sunday afternoons.

Al Gore can make it in his bizjet in under 10 minutes, but at a "slightly"
higher cost.
