All I want for Christmas are my two front mounts, my two front mounts, my two front mounts.

They are welcome to them. There are a few of us though, a dwindling few, who remember when genius walked among us. Herreschoff, Alden, Rhodes, Stephens, Hunt and many others routinely filled our harbors with craft of breathtaking beauty, speed, power, seakindliness and seaworthiness. Now...just memories. Soon enough, the memories will be gone too.



A lot of things are better now than when I was young and some things are much better. But we lost many wonderful things along the way, apparently forever. Full-time, stay-at-home mothers, safe streets, and CCA boats are only a few.

Grumpy much?

I have one of those stuffy old boats and there are many times I have asked Santa for a nice 60 foot whatever-condo-cat.

Not deprecating the value of my stuffy old boat but most days I want something faster, more maneuverable, and more comfortable.

It's that time again...
