How far is that from Pennsburg?

110 miles...about a 2 hour drive through the NJ back woods


You keep your boat that far away?

that's where they keep the ocean.

How often do you get enough to float your boat in your driveway? The poor
thing just sits there hoping to get it's bottom wet someday.

Too bad your 'Depends' can't say the same thing about you!

My little bow legged brown noser sure is easily amused...

You 'dopers' are a constant source of amusement...... although a bit
lowbrow for most.

Come on, my sweet little buddy. Once again, your replies are sounding
dumber every day.

Glad you had a blast Bob. When I could I used to go over to the Lake
and especially friday evening when the days were really long, and
cruise around slow. when I had my old 27 ft'r it was more fun
blubbering through the coves at about walking speed if that fast.

Crossing the lake on a good moon was cool too. dim the dash lights sit
up on the top of the cabin and let it talk. Kill the engine out in
the middle of the lake and just listen to the small waves lap the side
of the hull and watch the stars...

gotta say...not a time goes by that, after i start the engine and
engage the throttle that i dont issue a silent thanks to the starter
wizard in indiana...

alot of the enjoyment i've had this summer is due to your help...



gotta love it!

You bet. There's really nothing quite as good as being out on the
water on a nice clear, dark night and seeing all the stars. If you
lay on the deck and look up you are almost guaranteed to see some
shooting stars, and every once in a while, a satellite passing
overhead. Down in the tropics it is not uncommon to leave a trail of
phosphorescence behind you in the wake.

i'm hoping that, someday, perhaps next summer after i have more
confidence in the boat...of taking an overnight cruise a few miles
offshore on a clear night.

the only night i spent at sea...60 miles offshore in a 37'
sailboat...it was cloudy. still a great experience, but was hoping
for more!

Don't you have any decent lakes closer to home?

It was my pleasure, my friend. BTW, this isn't my pic but this is what
I used to have. Man was it a blast until the wood hull started to de-
laminate, and I couldn't keep up with it, a few years ago I salvaged
what I could out of it before it totally cratered.

It was so much fun to take it out in the evening when the sun was
going down and there was that nice yellowish-red hugh in the sky and
almost no breese. Shut the thing off out int he middle of the lake,
turn on the anchor lights and go swimming. Then later, just lay on top
of the cabin with the local college jazz station on the radio, sip
some peach brandy and eventually sack out in a sleeping bag...

I wish mine was on good shape and I wish I had it back

Man, what a blast!
