Watching the market isn't much fun today, that's for sure.

Oh, yes it is.

Ahh yes, an anti-capitalist boater, posting from home no doubt.

And I look like a freakin' genius...

I've been spending quite a bit of time on Mrs.E.'s GB in Scituate. My
summer project has been to slowly refinish all the interior teak ...
sanding, varnishing, etc. and I often spend 2 or 3 days at a time on the
boat.

A couple of weeks ago a boat was put in the slip beside me. The owner is
brand new to boating and is learning the "ropes" so to speak. He brings
his 5 year old son with him and he has been busy cleaning and fixing up
his new pride and joy. Several times I've answered questions, helped out
and have even gone out with him (at his request) to give some basic
lessons on how to handle the boat while docking, etc.

The 5 year old has decided that I am his pal. He shouts out my name
whenever he sees me and strikes up a conversation, discussing everything a
5 year old is interested in.

The other day Mrs. E. came down to the boat. She was sitting up on the
bow when Owen (the 5 year old) showed up with his Dad. Owen stopped
dead in his tracks on the dock, pointed at Mrs. E. and yelled out to his
father:

"Hey, look ..... he has a Lady!"

Kids are precious.......teenagers are a different story. Being able to
introduce them to the joys of boating at and early age (ours litterally grew
up on the water) and family activities is priceless.

Say hey to Owen for me. ;-)
