I particularly like the ideas (and there were more than one) to sell my boat over this one little issue! Thanks, guys. I'll have it on Yachtworld by next week. Of course, when an issue comes up with my new ketch, schooner, whatever (and trust me, ALL boats have some issue or another!), I guess I'll have to sell that and keep doing so until I find 'the perfect boat'!

Oh! Did I tell you about this fountain of youth elixir I found? It really works and...........
Ya gotta learn to take the friendly cracks with a smile on your face around here as if it was coming from a mate sharing a beer with you in a bar...sounds like you were taking my and a couple other jousts at your situation seriously...don't do that...it just gives us something to flap or yaps about and try to be included in a conversation..breaking the ice kind of thing...its a man thing after all..
