When I anchor out, I stay on the boat because that is where I wanted to be in the first place. You, sir, sound like a land lubber! Scotty |

For me, sailing is a lifestyle all of its own and not some infrequent escape from the workaday world like it is for you and poor domesticated Scotty. Sorry to hear you are out of work again. |

.... I agree its a reasonable topic of discussion, but basing it on bogus numbers is counterproductive. So, let's split the difference then. You purposely went low and ... No, I tried to be dead on. I purposely went high. So you admit you knowingly lied. But what else is new? Let's compromise and call it 2OK a year. That's still ridiculous. And it depends a lot on where you slip your boat. Some places in some of the more expensive parts of the country rent slips for a forty foot boat, for example, for well over a grand a month. Its true that you can find super expensive slips, just like you can find super expensive houses. But the average is lower than your quote. Not to mention, 40 feet is more than average. Your finance interest rates are too low. etc. No, I got today's rate from the Essex Finance site, and ran it through their calculator. That's the difference, I deal with reality, and you live in a fantasy world. So you should be willing to compromise and split the difference too if you're reasonable. OK, your premise leads to 14K/per year but 10K is easily possible. Splitting the difference is 12K. Elsewhere, you claim that investing the money would yield $540K, but if I plug the real numbers ($14K plus your expenses), you'd actually be ahead $225K. This is assuming 9% returns, but not factoring in taxes owed on the income, and the tax deduction of the boat loan, which could bring the difference down to about $180K. Clearly, its still a high price to pay, but then, you can't take it with you. |
