My favorite is number 2, "Balboa" (scroll down the page a bit)

Assuming I could afford the initial fuel fillup, it should last the
rest of my boating days.

Well, it's for damn sure Gregg would pick #7, which also appears to have sufficient exercise space.

Looks-wise, I'm with you. I like the 'north sea trawler' look. If I had the money, I'd look
carefully at a Nordic Tug. I like them. That's my dream boat.

Yup. A Nordic Tug, Grand Banks and a couple of others are on my short
"wish" list. The difficulty is in finding the right one. I'll never
buy new again, so when you find something of interest you have to be
prepared to travel all over the place to check them out.

I'll wait until we see how the house sale goes, where we end up next and
then get serious about looking. One of the issues is that for size boat
I am looking for I need to first locate a decent marina and available
slip. We just put the remaining "dockominium" we had Mrs.E's Grand
Banks in up for sale. So, decisions are being slowly made.

You've got time, it's fun, and the process results in a lot of learning. Of course my current
decision is which battery charger to buy for these LiPo batteries that go in the RC planes. Little
smaller decision, cost-wise, but I'm learning a hell of a lot.

Check with Steve (my neighbor). He went through a lot of investigation
regarding charger types and explained the results.
He is very active in that stuff and is known as a technical nerdy expert
on types of RC aircraft and the electronics that controls them as
president of his local flying club.

When asking a question about chargers and batteries in an RC group, I was basically told to memorize
this:

I won't bother Steve until I've gone through that stuff. I don't think I've still got his email
anyway.

Bad time to talk about Mr Ed. He just took himself for a walk.

What do you mean by 'he just took himself for a walk'? I hope you don't mean he's left to die on his
own. Our farm dog did that - just walked out to the pasture by himself. After a few hours we went
looking for him. Found him laying under a tree, very peacefully.

He just decides to take off now and then and when he does he won't
come back. Chasing him only makes it worse. He just got back. He was
sitting across the street for about 4 hours staring at the house.
I tried everything to get him to come back.
Finally he just strolled over like nothing had happened. I think he
may have heard thunder.


Whew! Had me worried there for a bit.

I've seen several helicopters on yachts but that looks like a small
landing pad...
