House for Boat
Hello:
Are you somebody who would like to spend January and February '08 in a beautiful house overlooking the Hudson River just 20 minutes from Manhattan? Particularly somebody who has a boat in Florida or the Caribbean which they won't be using for that period of time? We're looking for a boat to live on for part of this winter. We recently sold our sailboat, a Pearson 39 that we've owned for 30 years, because she was getting really difficult to maintain. But I miss the water and so does my wife, and we're looking for a craft to call our own (for a spell) and to keep shipshape for the owner. Alternatively, we've considered chartering for January or February, or both. But the rate for this long a period would be pretty staggering, so we're looking for a special arrangement with an owner who needs a temporary abode in the NYC area and would rather entrust his boat to a mature couple's loving care rather than relegate her to a long dry spell on the hard. At your request, I'll send you pictures of our house so you can judge for yourself. Best wishes, Bob & Rosemary Cone |

Does it come with a snowplow? snowblower? assortment of shovels?? Just checking....(c; Larry -- While in Mexico, I didn't have to press 1 for Spanish.

"We don't need air conditioning.", they always tell me during the 2.5 months the temperature in upstate NY is 95F and the humidity is 99.98%. You must have grown up in a different upstate NY than I did. On the shores of Lake Ontario in July and August there were many days when we had a fire in the wood stove and extra blankets at night. I've seen snow in the Adirondacks on Labor Day weekend. |

I've seen snow in the Adirondacks on Labor Day weekend. Up on the big lake is much cooler because the water doesn't warm than days off in the valleys where the air flows over them. Moravia is nestled in between two 800' hills in the Owasco Valley in the Finger Lakes. In Summer, the air just stops, dead, shielded by the hills, and the valleys get very hot. My father worked for Smith-Corona making typewriters in Groton, NY, in an unairconditioned sweatshop for many years. That was one hot place because of the manufacturing machinery and furnaces in it. Half the valley worked there as there wasn't much else to do but dairy farming, which is worse. It's a great place to be FROM....(c; Larry -- While in Mexico, I didn't have to press 1 for Spanish.
