Re: Why Mono Sailors Hate Cats: The Bare Truth is Shocking!

Gee I prefer a boat shot that is a bit nicer. It's why I do that boating thingy.

Besides there's always at least one hot blonde lady on my boat . Unlike all the layabouts on that first photo of SH's, I at least can sail and change filters on the Yanmar.

Hasn't moved many for me

It depends on what preferences you have set in your CP. I have mine set to show 40 posts per page, so you are the first post on page 3.

Robinhood Marina up here in Maine rents out floating houses. You can motor around while sitting at your dining room table. Even comes with a porch.

That's the kind of photo I had in mind, among many others.

You are a rare find, and would be welcome Aboard many boats, mine included, whether Mono or Multi.
