Every time I visit my 28' S2 at the coast, the guy in the Pearson next
to me is there so I figure he spends ALL his free time there alone but
his boat has no name on it so I asked why.

He replied:

"My wife and I argue a lot and she told me to stop being so cheap and
pay for some professional help for our relationship, I took her advice
but "MARRAIGE COUNSELOR" wouldnt fit on the stern."

Hehe! I have seen a few "Other Women" in my time.

I have also see ana few boats go past (including my own going past
others with me on it) that sounded like the "End of all Marriages" G

From your other post, not in letters _you_ could read, anyway, at
least until you get those specs replaced. G

Wry, but not wise either way. When I threw her out & kept my
children, we chose "Free Three", more for our own spirit of innocent
adventure than any of spite. Later, it got rammed up my nose in court
by a creative attorney. Suggest a more tactical name like "Judges
Rule" using cheap, peel-off letters. :-)

Up my way, "inexplicable casualties" have been know to occur to
spitefully-named vessels; didn't we have a big thread on this 5 years
ago? :-)

Moral: don't paint the name on the boat until AFTER the divorce and
settlement are final. :)

My favorite boat name of all time means absolutely nothing--in fact, is
likely to be totally miscontrued--to anyone who doesn't know the story
behind it: George wanted a boat...for years he begged his wife Ruth to
let him buy one, but Ruth wanted nothing to do with boats at all.
Finally, though, she relented...he could have his boat, but only on one
condition: that she would never have to set foot on it or even go near
it. George agreed, and bought his boat...which he named "Ruthless."

Hemi, demi, semi related. When growing up, I was a huge fan of the Swallows
and Amazon stories by Arthur Ransome. One of the characters is Nancy
Blackett - she and her sister are the Amazon pirates. Thing is, Nancy isn't
her real name. It's Ruth. But she isn't called Ruth, because, obviously,
pirates are ruthless.

Ho-ho, STARBOARD!! "Final" is an illusion - such things get people
dragged back into court anytime by inspiring creative attacks even
years later; the list of "possiblities" is endless, and their outcomes
unpredictable. It is always better to avoid any appearance of
spitefulness or "nyah-nyah's". In fact, the best strategy is to
invite them for a sail once or twice - they will usually refuse, and
one has bought goodwill. Should they accept, one need only provide an
inoperative head, bad snacks, stiff vintage kapok lifejackets, John
Cage on the stereo and an empty booze locker. :-)

Saw a funny bumper sticker once ..."I got this here truck for my wife!
Pretty good trade, huh?"

That's right. 'Final' means you can go try again with another one if you
have the stomach for it. But the divorce is only 'final' if all parties
involved keep it that way ...ex's tend to haunt and cause troubles ...(I'll
leave it at that ...)

Brian

PS: Fortunately for some though, they learn along the way and round 2 is the
real blessing the first should have been had you been more 'experienced' the
first time. Life goes on. Build boats.

I apologize in advance to this NG for adding to this thread, knowing
it is not the accepted style (nor charter) to continue with serious
matters not directly related to boatbuilding here. It is not my hope
to annoy, but I've never tried to win popularity contests, either:

A sad statement, friend. This does not sound like learning.

Marriage is not about being experienced. Marriage, even decent
boatbuilding, is about committment. For thousands of years, people
married in their teens, often with no choice of with whom, and knew
little about life & almost nothing about each other until the wedding.
But they knew what committment was, and their strong marriages
spawned whole tribes, societies and nations.

The "experienced" want to remarry someone they love. The faithful do
the opposite: love the one you marry.

"Round 2"? With a still-living spouse, this is adultery - no matter
what piece of paper two may have or what some religious official says
it is. Only death ends a valid marriage. Marriage is not a
contractual relationship. It is a creation ordinance that predates
all faiths and applies to all people, no matter what they believe.
Deep down, everyone knows this.

Please think beyond the grave, the next good time, and the next case
of resin.

Why does a thread on Marriage Counseling follow a thread on Vacuum Bagging.
Is it just a coincidence or something more sinister?
