Soory, there were a couple of errors in your post. I fixed them for you


You know you are living in the Computer Age Cruising when:


1 - You accidentally enter your password on the microwave cos you've only been cruising for a short while.


2 - You haven't played solitaire for years because theres better things to do while you're cruising!


3 - You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. But you have no phone, and the familiy is right here enjoying themselves too!


4 - You email the person who works at the desk next to you: "Your desk is in the water floating next to my yacht... please do not scratch it."


5 - Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they come visit in person when we are in paradise.

6 - You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries: "Someone help load the Provisions and we'll set sail for TAHITTI!!!!!! adventure!


7 - Every television commercial is ignored as we don't have a TV. We have a life and a boat.

8 - Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have for the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic - but you'll get over NEVER having one again!

10 - You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. Actually you drop a line over the side and catch a fish for breakfast.


11 - You start tilting your head sideways to smile :-) cos we voyaging and yachts heel!!!!


12 - You're reading this, and nodding and laughing because we're at sea when our friends are still doin the 9 to 5 grind.


13 - Even worse, you know exactly to whom you're going to forward this list: to all the suckers working paying their house off and gettin nowhere!


14 - You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list because the fish are biting


15 - You actually scrolled back up to check that there was no #9 on this list. Nope, I'm pulling a beer outta the ice box....


And now you are laughing at yourself! No, I'm laughing to myself.
