one of those people who will never be able to slow down and enjoy life.


I guess you missed our three days in the Key Largo area?




Three days? C'mon. To get the flavor of a place try staying a month or so. I
guess we have different philosophies about what constitutes 'cruising.'
Heck, you motored all the way to Great Guana just to have drinks and a pig
roast then you scurried off as if you were afraid of the place. You spent
what, 150 bucks on a six-month cruising permit, perhaps 200 bucks if your
dinghy is large and you used up a week or two of it? Shame! You could have
done it a whole lot cheaper and environmentally friendly had you just stayed
home and roasted your own pig. Is it really that much fun driving? What are
you trying to escape from? What is it that makes you afraid to slow down and
get to know some other place, another culture, other traditions? Why the
hurry?

There are always reasons for everything. Life is full of
compromises.
