Joe




What a big POS! Probably makes a wake five feet tall. Talk about throwing
good money down a rat hole! That's exactly the kind of rat boat that ruins
any anchorage as explained in some of my posts elsewhere.

And there speaks the owner of a small, yellow, anchor buoy.

Ah but jealousy is terrible.

Cheers,

Like, I'm REALLY jealous of Joe! Bwahahahahhahahahahahha. You've GOT to be
kidding. The Rube goes out and manages to sink his sailboat in a Gulf of
Mexico cold frontal passage and ends up with some old, rotten, soggy-wooden
1956 Owens. He slaps a coat of paint on it to try to hide the rotting
topsides and he thinks he's got something people will be jealous of.
Hohohohohohohhohhohoohoo! Oh, my aching sides. Then he goes to a junkyard
and salvages a couple of 357 Chevy motors and installs them. They will last
about two months in the damp and rank bilges of that rotting hulk. My gosh
but the man is pitiful.
