May I ask for a fully crewed Skorpio 72 ? I'll accept only if beautiful and serving chick is included. Thanks!

p.s. double hull, double problem...

44'Cruising Cat - That's OK, it will be on your conscience not mine that you wouldn't give it to me

henryk - I draw the line at that point, I already have one wife and could not afford another one, hence the reason why I am asking for a free Cat because the money gets spent elsewhere so someone please help me

All right ireaney,
You obvisously must be from the "here and now generation" who just can't be satisfied quick enough. I'd give it another week before sending out the same message only this time in bold letters and the statement, ...and I want it now!!
You should get a quicker response then.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

That should read obviously. Haven't even had my first pint. Oh, "Thanksgiving Day" is an U. S. American holiday based on consumption of a large bird sometimes made of Japanese toffu.

I''m not greedy, I'll lower the expectation a bit and ask for a

Seawind 24
Early GBE
Turissmo 9 or 10

Just something to blast around the bay in until mine is done.

Then I'll happily return.

John, Please don't apologise for your 1 spelling mistake, whilst reading a lot of these threads, I am amazed at the errors, mind you maybe they have had a few pints.
You go and enjoy a few pints and your thanksgiving, whether it is a real turkey of toffu. Cheers Ian

I heard of a guy who was doing a lot of trading. He traded up from a paperclip to a house. Amazing!

I thought I'd give it a try. Check it out: My trade

I was amazed. I actually got a nice prop and a drouge type sea anchor for taking a couple out sailing for the day.

Anyone want to trade? Leave me a post here

Question trading sail for stuff

Hello,

Is trading taking someone for a sail in exchange for stuff, as toewsrus explains, the same as taking gas money or mooring fees from a friend. I.e. is this considered a hired charter and requires whatever the USCG mandates for such services. Seems like a great idea, just wondering if it is legal.

I'm doing a seminar on a cruise ship in January (taking my son with me) and have about 4 days after the cruise before my flight back to Alaska. I've heard enough stories about free boats that we're going to spend most of those days going from marina to marina in Florida looking for one.

And if I find one big enough for a family of four, I'll skip the flight home, and call my wife and tell her to pack pack up everything and come on down and we'll move aboard.

Our house is already up for sale, so we know we're going to be moving at some point anyway, right? =

I have had over 1000 hits on this thread and no offers, it either shows that no one is very generous or you are all the same, waiting to see if it works for me then some of you will do the same.
