    Back in my single and stupid days, I spotted a beautiful similar but smaller 60’ single mast boat moored in a marina near the coast on Clear Lake within commuter distance to work in Houston. I was so taken with thoughts of living the good life on the boat that I almost bought it until a bright flash of light caught me and I realized I did not know a damned thing about boats other than I hated maintaining the ones I had owned before. One of the best decisions I ever made was running the other way.

    My BIL had a sign about boats in his house. It read...

    "A boat is a hole in the water you throw money into."

    He may have been right.

    BOAT = Break Out Another Thousand.

    The only thing that works on an old boat is the owner.
