Default I lost a bunch of money!

Oil prices dropped almost 20% this week. I believed all the doom and
gloomers and speculated they would continue to rise skyward and they didn't!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Does $150 a bbl sound likely?

$200 a bbl?

I'm going to celebrate by running my twin engine Trojan 35 around the bay
twice - at full throttle!


The usually-popular anchorage I was at Saturday (Swan Creek) had
one-third the typical number of boats, with sailboats outnumbering
power 2-1. Usually, it's 4 or 5-1 the other way. Sunday, I was the only
boat there for a few hours, then two local day-trippers stopped by.

Sailed home and only saw two powerboats....

4th of July weekend was similarly sparse, but I chalked that up to
rotten weather.

Anyone else observe similar?
