Wet is a *lot* better than submerged.

What is it with these folks who think that one should remain perfectly
dry in a boat? Are they from Seattle, or something, where an ounce of
spray causes hypothermia?

Ha! Didn't say that (should'a made a tongue in cheek emoticon).
Just meant that cutting off the bow of a Whaler would turn it into a
big "scoop" arrangement and would seem more like a ride in an outboard
powered hot tub. That may or may not be your cup of tea ;-)

Not me. I don't even like land-based hot tubs.

One of the secrets to happiness in life is to know when you are well
off. Anytime I am warm, dry and well fed three important things have
already gone right that day. And since I'm also on a boat, make that
four things. Add in a good internet connection, fine red wine and
good company - that makes seven.

The wind and rain are whipping today out of the north east. White
caps are rolling past and a sailboat has been driven aground on the
beach about 200 yards to leeward. We're sitting here anchored nice
and peacefully however, 60 thousand pounds and 50 feet of stability,
20 KW generator pumping dehumidified heat, powering internet and
satellite TV, everything functioning just fine. Life is good. I love
boating. :-)

On days like that, I'd rather be doing something more interesting than
lazing on a boat. To each his own.

Funny that, since we seem to be doing the same thing.

Dude, it's Harry, and it's all boating posts, all most likely true.
This whole adventure of his has quite frankly been a good education
for me with all the issures that have crept into the threads. So why
can't you just let it go, let the lobsta' boat issue go. It is what it
is/was and the guy got just the frekin' boat he wanted, be happy for
the guy and enjoy the boating conversations. Hey, I'm not telling you
what to do, I'm just sayin'.

Based on your previous posts of your travels on the GB it sounds like you
are indeed living the good life.......most likely well earned.
Congratulations!
