The handles provide a handy place to which one may hang on when the
ride gets particularly active. They are also useful for establishing
or maintaining control when moving the rental boat from the place
where it was hired to the location of actual use. I have it on good
authority that the hourly rental charge for such high quality craft is
almost prohibitive, and the 24-hour rate is more than most men can
stand.....er, I mean afford. :-)

I though ya'll were just trying to trick me, but after scrolling thru
ALL the pictures, I finally saw some boats on page 7. Can't tell the
manufacturer due to the distance, it could be my eyes are going bad, but
they are definetely sailboats.

Maybe so but leasing or renting is still less expensive in the long
run, especially if you are looking for that "fresh new look" every so
often. The dealer markup on trade-ins is prohibitive.

I wish someone had told me that before I bought the one I have now. The
cost of upgrades is prohibitive and the one I have now won't let me
trade her in on a new model.

Flying back to Seattle last night, we were in the ticket line about
two switchbacks behind a couple checking an enormous pile of nearly
brand new, perfectly matched luggage. My wife, somewhat bored,
whispered to me, "I think she's high maintenance. Look at the
expensive clothes and jewelry she's wearing, just to fly in coach!"

"Probably so," I agreed. "But I'd suspect that even without noticing
all of the ostentatious trappings."

"Why's that?" asked my wife.

"He's about as far past 60 as she is short of 35, and it's pretty
obvious they aren't father and daughter- or at least better not be.
Somehow I suspect that the primary asset she thinks this guy offers is
his assets in the very literal sense of the term."

You see quite a bit of this on the megayacht docks and it's always
amusing to watch the interaction. A senior member of our club once
showed up for the annual cruise with a young lady at least half his
age. The tongues are still wagging years later about what "service"
she came from.
