What is it with these folks who think that one should remain perfectly
dry in a boat?

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.
