How Do You Let Go?

[Julie Mor]

If we were purely logical in all the decisions we made, we'd all be living in houses designed only for our actual needs - no lavish bedroom suites, no "entertaining amenities" we might only use once or twice a year. Sports cars would never have been created. Paint colors would be limited to the basic colors. There would be no women wearing high heels or men in Armani suits. Credit cards would be obsolete because we'd never buy anything we didn't have the money for. And we'd all have a lot more money in our pockets.

But that's not how the human creature is. We are rarely practical or logical but we do an amazing job convincing ourselves and those in our lives we are just that when nothing could further from the truth. Humans are masters at denial.

Oooooo, nice! Furuno instruments. Me likes!

Ay, but do they work?

Looks like you are leaking the identity, little by little, in hopes someone will deduce its ID and buy it before you can make a decision.

As a young man I told my Dad I was going to marry for money. He told me that would be a big mistake and that I wouldn't be happy. But....if I nerver dated anyone that didn't have a lot of money someday I would fall in love, get married and have a lot of money. Of course as a teenager I didn't follow his advice...

I would say the same advice should apply here but it sounds like it's TOO LATE!

With your mix of obviously humorous photos and some that could be for real. Let me just say that I'm in love just from the engine pic if that is real.

As a woman, I think you guys have crossed the line. I expected better.

Maybe you wish to share this with your female partner or spouse? Better yet, include in your Mother's Day card this year....

Guy, not "Guys ".
I don't speak Spanish and I didn't use a translator but from your reaction I disavow any....... Maybe I should try to figure out that translator thing.

Julie uses her parallel of competition to win in a decision between her emotion and her logic.


The boat will carry her self appreciation in its value after she makes a decision. The boat will begin to shine and carry an emotional gratification, it's only the logic entering into it when making the initial decision. Emotion will endure, logic will abandon her.


Even your gratification working behind that panel on hard, you will find the emotional build growing far beyond and heal those bruises logic has dealt you. You will be more emotionally gratified by the lull of the ocean as you rock and yawl through the seas' attack on your logic when the boat takes you to heights of pleasure beyond logic.


You cannot use logic to determine the winner of this boxing match, for she will abandon you at the first crest of your sleep and found within you dream -- fulfilled.


Fulfilled only by ownership, and only with emotional gratification.


We accepted the boat is wood, but plywood, thin sheets of plywood just don't count.


Accept the ten count, emotion wins in the end and keeps on giving, so buy the boat.


You will suffer, you will suffer if you . . . . Neighbor just rang, gotta go

Like Margie, Julie, you gotta take his stuff outta his pocket to know just who he is. In Pawns, Don Day didn't know that until she gave him back his wallet.

But that would be giving up! Logical has never given up. And someone ringside just handed Logical a note... a note that could change everything!

Julie...
With all due respect... I have lost interest in this thread... It seems more like a playground for jerk people around...then an attempt to get some sound advice.

Good luck with your boat quest... I suggest you try another tack.

Could she just be trying to write The Book?

You're wrong. Logic does give up. It's called resolution.

Maybe that's why I ended up with a catamaran - I bought it based on a spreadsheet (ducks for cover b4 mono owners start throwing things)

Naah. Catamarans have equal worth as a vessel. The exclusivity and resentment has long been relegated to the past with Catamarans proving their worth and reliability and desirability.

what should be left is a gentle ribbing between the mono and multi crowd.

I love them.

Logical let the ref know she's ready to return to the fight. But the ref sees the note in Logical's hand. The two fighters return to the center and await the signal for the bout to continue when the ref waves his hands and says,

"This fight is over! There will be no winner."

The two fighters, knowing why, walk, as friends, from the ring to the locker room. A reporter nearby puts a microphone in the ref's face and asks, "What happened? Why did you call the fight?"

The ref hands the reporter the note. The confusion on his face turns to understanding and he knows there was no need to continue the fight, for something out of control of either boxer took the dream boat out of the picture.

[Stu Jackson]

Well, that conclusion was obvious. If you'd shown us the picture, we could have told you to bail pages ago!

1. Boom end sheeting - ugh!

2. No plumb bow - slow!

3. Blue hull - too hot!

4. Center cockpit - stair too steep!

5. No davits! 'Nuff said.

6. Big genoa - too dangerous in winds over X knots!

7. Portlights in hull - leak sources!

8. I'm sure Ex-Calif will chime in with the rest of the Top Ten!

9. ???

10. ???
