Looking at a boat

[Statler]

there are two happy days for a boat owner.
the day you buy....
and the day you sell.

This is bullshit pushed by people who do not love the water.   

you can pry this boat out of my cold, dead hands.

(until I buy a bigger one...then you can buy it for a completely fair price).

and as for a short, fun threadjack, why would a real boat need a motor?

Couldn't agree more!

Because we're not lawyers...

and would have difficulty filling that sail should the wind die.

looks like nice day out, Mitt.


We have soooo many pics of the little one in swimmies/floats/jumping off the side of the boat.

water temp in the Bay here in the low 80s.   Very nice right now.

we like the look on the powerboat guys' faces when we back Pisces up to the beach like that.   Her mast is 38 feet, but with the board up she draws a foot and a half.


somegirl,      sweet!   we have an inflatable catamaran kayak we take cruising with us that will hold three (sort of).   lots of fun.   I'd love a big tandem sea-kayak.



ok....sorry....end threadjack by boat lovers that have no input on actual thread topic.   promise.

I wish it were mine, sadly it's not, but I had a great time spending a week in it in the San Juan Islands.   

A sea kayak is definitely high on my wishlist.

Join a sailing club, you'll get lessons and use of the boats for a small fee and a little bit of time put in (at least that's how it works around here).  Far better deal than owning your own boat unless you are going to be on it all the time.

Agreed completely.

I have been sans motor for most of my boating life (since I was about 2 years old).

This is my first water hobby, that I still enjoy more than motor boating:

Though I also prefer a sail...apparantly if you call for help/break down/run into problems around here (So Cal) the Coast Guard will ask if you are in a pleasure craft or a sailboat.

Hmm, why would this bicycle need a motor??

Some of us need to break "No Wake Zone" speeds when we are out of the no wake zone!
