because if I have to buy a sponsor, that seems way too much like buying a
friend.

Gee...our sponsor owns a very small marina of his own up on White Lake and
drives around in cut-offs in his beat up Ford pick-up...he's just a plain,
old nice guy and he'd probably rearrange the face if someone suggested he
could be "bought"....we were referred to him by a mutual friend, and also
have known the manager of the yacht club for years...since he was a
teenager, in fact....You have a very warped idea of the world, Ed Gordon....
