LOL. I think I'm OK on that front -- I've also managed to remain a
bachelor for all my 52 years, but I appreciate the words of
wisdom none the less! :-)

Will have to check into the Yach Club thing but I'm thinking that might
be pretty expensive and not very convenient since the nearest yacht
club is quite a ways away. I think I'll scale back doing any
maintenance or work at the house which requires I start the boat on the
trailer and instead haul it over to my cousin's place about a 1/2 hour
drive away or just wait to do those things just before launch and/or on
the water. F 'em if they want to get on us for me doing other little
things while it's parked in her driveway during the "24 hour storage
period".

I'd have to agree on the boat/yacht club thing.
We're lucky here, I could join one or more from a list of almost two dozen.
Some very expensive, some dirt cheap, some close.. others an hours drive,
most on the ocean and a few on fresh water etc etc.
The right club might be a nice social place to hang around in-between
outings.

Well, aalllll righty then.....
But just remember, it won't be "us" they'll get on. You're completely
in the clear here. She's the one that'll be under the gun... FOR you.
So don't discount what I told ya' 'bout that slippery slope.
