at a local pub, a smiled thank you and we are walking to board "Cut the

air, a warm breeze beckons.

Ah yes Willie-boy does it again. For years you've told us all about
what a REAL SAILOR you are, keeping your boat at a mooring, and now
you fess up that you really are keeping it at a dock.

Ah, Bruce, c'mon - cut the boy some slack :{))

First, it's imaginary. Second, with all that anticipation going on, who'd
want to wait for the long row back in the dinghy, when he could get it on
immediately when she arrives? Besides, he's looking to impress, so putting
out the coin for a day's dockage is probably a good investment to that end.

Yes, I admit, he could do it in the bottom of the dink, but that's
inconsiderate to the lass, given the usual condition of dink floors (oops,
soles) or bilges, if his craft isn't sufficiently luxurious to have floors
as ours does (removeable, for better access for cleaning, even)...

Skip, about finished with the grinding and preparing to fair after the last
few wet-outs

Wouldn't a REAL SAILOR swim out to the boat?

Cheers,

REAL sailors can walk on water...

Or so it seems around here.
