I'd always thought that Goucho Marx was the originater of “I’d never be
a member of a club that’d have me as a member.” I was surprised that a
quick search on it found it being attributed not only him, but to W. C.
Fields and Woody Allen as well. I guess great minds think alike.

And thanks, Capt. JG for the compliment. I agree. It's a very nice
boat and it's a rare time that I find myself aboard and at some point
don't tell myself, "Gawd, I love this boat!"

As far as using Ernest Scribbler's number, I've no idea which of us had
it first. Tricia Jean was built in 1979 (the 192'nd Tayana 37 built),
but I've only had her since 2001, though we've logged close to 20,000 nm
in her during that time. Yours is also a might fine looking vessel.
Built for a different purpose, but none-the-less, a great example of the
class.

You're welcome. I think WC Fields wins by a nose.

I'll have to concede on both counts. My Gloucester is an '86 model, new to
me last year, and we've logged around 20,000 yards.

Thanks.

In that field, the rule is "Steal the best."
