(I know that's an old one).

After a number of years, I basically got tired of it. Or tired of sailing it within a day's reach from here.

It was barely trailerable. Towing it and launching it in different waters was a PITA and I discovered it was better to rent a bare boat.

I had a lot of fun with it when I had it, though. It wasn't a fishing boat. The ideal day was with one hand on the tiller, a cold drink in the other hand, some wind in the sails, and half-naked women sunning themselves on the deck.

By the way Notes, not this weekend but the next, Sunday the 22nd I hope to stop by your Sunday gig. Moving to the general area and hope to become a regular!


Hey Joe, had all the radiation you can stand?

Rec 90 fuel on the road was $5.00, $5.50 at the marina behind the house, and $5.80 at Capt. Jacks by the Vaca cut the bridge in Marathon. Gas on the street here in Homestead has gone up 20 cents a gal. in the last day or so.

The cost of avgas 100ll in Las Vagas (aircraft fuel) $7.79! That would have cost me $467.40 an hour to fly my old 402 Cessna at 200 miles per hour. Two dollars and 34
cents a mile.

So the most insane thing I have seen lately was a 600-horsepower Mercury outboard that cost $77,000 each and there were four on the boat. $308,000 plus 6% tax!!!! Oh, then you have to buy the boat also...lol
