With the boats covered for winter, we deserve a little fun.


=================================

Speak for yourself Don, the boating season here in SWFL is just
getting into high gear with near perfect weather every day. My kids
flew in from NY last week for the holidays and we enjoyed several nice
excursions to the near by tropical beaches. Water temperature in the
Gulf of Mexico has dropped quite a bit however. It is now down to 73
degrees. That may sound warm to a Canadian but it's downright chilly
compared to mid-summer 90 degrees.


Oh, you make me sick!

I bought my second sailboat in Clearwater in march 86 or so, and
went wading in Miami a few days before. The water was so warm! The
hookers and pimps in their fur coats at the motel breakfast bar
where we had parked our camper van thought my wife and I were
scandalously underdressed in our t shirts, shorts and flip flops.
They all seemed to know that we were Maple Slurpers. Perhaps it was
our license plates?

I am now so depressed that I must go see if the snow has burst the
tarp on my boat in the back yard, yet...

Maybe I'll put on my parka, go sweep it off and make a log entry. *SOB!*

How much would a little shack in Florida cost to buy? Say, just a
little bigger than an ice fishing hut?
