Default What They Didn't Tell Me about Owning A Boat

Gary
thanks for your post. I agree this is much better than politics on a
boating sight. and I do remember your first boat as well. And we both
loved every minute and expence and wouldn't have it any other way!

Rich -

I'll be out sometime between the 24th and 28th
and would love to take a first ride of the season.

Actually, I have a favor to ask you that I just
remembered, so I'll be giving you a call.

Take her slack cause you deserve
To rock yourself on the ocean."

Lloyd...you must be watching CBC if you know about those Newfoundland
characters.


Nope: Found them in a small music store in Cape Breton Island ("Charlie's
Country Store" or something) when I was there 20 yrs ago. Had the CD stolen, but
wanted the words to "Glory Be" and found their website:

I remember looking to buy my first boat for about 4 months. But for some reason
it wasn't until the day AFTER I bought that first boat that people started
telling me:

You know what BOAT stands for don't you?
Break Out Another Thousdand

You know what a boat is don't you?
A hole in the water you throw money into.

You know what the happiest two day' of a boat owner's life are, don't you?
The day he buys the boat and the day he sells it.

You know how to become a millionare don't you?
Start with two million and buy a boat?


Etc.


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain -

And there's another one about nothing being more satisfying than "simply messing
about in boats"

"I must go down to the seas again..."
