very foggy at LBI this weekend. but it's great at the start of the season. no one's at the marina...quiet with alot of boats still shrinkwrapped. had a drink or 3, walked the doggies and enjoying the quiet I'm still flo[[oing back and forth on what to do about a new boat. I can get one that satisfy the wife and i or spring another $5 or 6 k and get something a bit bigger (might be usefull if future grandkids come along) Trouble is, I'd also have to upgrade to a more powerful tow vehicke. I have an appointment tomorrow at 1300 hrs with the local Toyota dealer. They'll appraise my 3 year old car and we'll take the 6 cyl RAV4 out for a test run. This could get expensive ;-) |

If you have Carmax up there, that would be a good place to look also. We've bought and sold twice with them and been very happy. |

You won't be happy in the end. ;-) |

The high point of his entire life was a stint in the navy and that was over for him decades ago. |
