Another Great Day on an Imaginary Boat
The imaginary wife and two of my fictitious kids spent the day on the lake.
My main objective was to relax and try to finish up Michener's book on South Africa. I did not succeed. The kids kept messing with me, so I finally got into the water. My daughter went trolling for studs at the marina. I finally got out the boat hook and chased the horny dogs off. Life with an imaginary boat is mega cool and from what I have read in rec.boats, much cheaper than the real thing. |

I always have to spend a few weeks after reading Michener researching the characters trying to figure out who is real and who are composites. My wife hates Michener because as soon as she gets into a character and/or plot he moves onto the next one. |

I don't like everything he's done - he sometimes gets a little carried away with the historical research and the plot/characters get buried in minutia. "The Covenant" is pretty good though. |

Somehow I see you sitting there snarling, eyebrows perched, nostrils flared... well, maybe not flared;) But it seems these guys have gotten to you to the point where you are sitting here slapping at the sock puppets after what sounds like a great day, don't let these guys bum you out man;) |

Poor Reggie finally had a dream about boating with his family and wakes up in an angry mood. Go figure. No, no, no, silly. He had a dream about boating with his *imaginary* family. The part of the dream about his imaginary daughter and her imaginary studs would interest a student of Freud had it involved a real person. But, as we know, Reggie Returdo is not a real person, nor is he based upon one. |

Which do you think is more 'imaginary', Reggie's family, or your lobsta boat? |

Corinthian leather is for pansies. Mine has alligator skin upholstery. |

Thats what puts the cuddy in your cabin. My imaginary mistress has a transom that's high and tight and a narrow beam. She looks great with all her canvas off, and a graceful but pronounced flare in the bow draws admiring glances from fellow mariners. (She can be a lot of fun in head seas). Now, I'm talking about a boat- of course :-) |

The only problem I can see with it, is when you have a nice boat, you do have a tendency to use it. Now imaginary boats allow you to talk about boats, and still post 24/7 in rec.boats. |
