Who do you think is boatless? I know Harry likes to make things up, but I
would guess he really does have a Parker.

You miss Skipper, don't you......

What sort of boat do you own?

A poster who consistently applauds your efforts here sold his boat last year.

Another who specializes in flaming anybody left of Zell Miller once posted,
"No, I don't have a boat, that's your
and Krause's rice bowl."

There are several regulars here who don't boat. Make up a list of the folks who
*never* participate in a boating related thread and you'll have a pretty fair
idea who they probably are.

We used to have another poster with your problem. He solved it by
simply sitting in it, singing "YO HO HO and a bottle of Rum", while it
was permanently parked on a trailer in his driveway.

He finally sold the boat after the trailer tires went flat.

Are you from Kansas by any chance?

Oh wait, that's Oklahoma.

My bad.

That's nothing. I was out in my yard yesterday and a leaf fell out of a tree
and went down the back of my shirt.

I own a Doral 360 SE, we used it as a floating condo, or rafting up and
socializing with friends. If I lived on the coast, I think I would trade it
in for a trawler and do some cruising. I was on Lake Michigan with a friend
and we took his trawler over to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, and fell in love
with the idea of being able to do cruising on the Great Lakes, or the coast.
Be nice to have Chesapeake Bay or the San Juans to explore.

He really *does* have a Parker 2520 XL, a very nice boat. It doesn't
spend near enough time in the water though.

Is that a swamp full, or a bunch, as in 'slew' (or some variant
thereof)?

Luckily for you there is a difference between being in the boat and
being in the water. I dont like being in water either (I had some
special experience here) but I like being in boats. Get yourself a
good lifejackets and enjoy boating!

I have shared that experience - last time in the St. Lawrence Seaway.

It's very enjoyable.
