did you copy this from Google or Wickapedia?



You probably already looked and couldn't find it. Do send us a link if
you manage it!!!

Looks like you have a live one there Bob, hope your drag is nice and
smooth, you wouldn't want to lose this one; it's been a while after all.

Cheers

Cool. Actually being in the sailboat business must give you more
opportunity to sail and know different boats. Nice combination.


I'm barely in the business. My deal is selling the few sailboats at my
club for the brokerage and helping some insurance situations with
sailboats. All sailboat sails are generally run through up and
including the sea trial. My most recent deal was taking a Pearson 26
on trade for a Santana 30/30 and I had a lot of fun sailing the quick
little Santana. In spite of all the ****ed off people you see on ASA,
helping someone get their sailing fantasy into reality is awesome.
Years ago someone helped me and I never tire of doing the same for
someone new. The real world payback is that I haven't had a boat
related service bill in 3 seasons. I'm comped on everything.
Recently I've been bringing kids out sailing. I'd guess you'd call
them privledged already since they live in big houses with pools and
live in the country, but sailing a 35 foot boat is totally new for
them!

So sailing, which I began in a deep depression after the death of a
loved one, is now one of the most uplifting things I can spend my time
doing. You just have to get out there and good times will find you!

Your boating activities and apparent love for it would allow you to
easily segue into whatever part of the business you wish.
That's what's important - being involved.
Heck, I'm feeling guilty now about not moving faster in getting my
first boat.

Very nice. You're making lifetime friends with the kids. These are
formative moments of their life they will always remember.

Well, I was in my early 30's when I bought my first boat, a Catalina
27. Someone dear to me had died and sailing was something we both
loved. I ran out, almost blindly, and bought the boat.
Life, pleasures and losses...all happen beyond our control much of the
time. If you have a boat and can keep her going, count yourself very
lucky.

Hey! I bought the same board for my granddaughter, except hers is yellow
with a palm tree, but you probably inherited yours, and will sell it
next year for three times it's market value!

It's a Baltic 4.5 belly board and cost more than Scotty's boat. I also
have the sail kit and outboard bracket for it. The water wings Thomas
is wearing are custom made from Sperm Whale intestines and cost 525.00
each. The girl to his left is a model for Gap Kids and Bannana
Republic. We pay her 55.00 per hour for babysitting, which is more
than you and Scotty make combined.

I hope you didn't get her the waterwings also. They're super dangerous and
provide no useful floatation if the child is in trouble in the water.

Duh! Waterwings are a toy and it says so in big type on the package.
Gayanzy will now tell Scotty Potty not to drink the toilet water.
Oops...too late!

Then I realized it wasn't a forgery.



Even when Dave "gets it," it still flies right over his head.
He's rapidly replacing Sloco as the Margaret Dumont of this group.
