My trip to the Abacos in my 28' sailboat which has turned into a
caving trip is suddenly getting crowded. *I shoulda expected this.
Cavers are all crazy and think nothing of jumping at any opportunity
for crazy adventure. *Whereas I could not get any sailing types to go
unless I offered more "civilized" accomodations, the cavers think
nothing of bad food and being uncomfortable so I now have too many
crew.
Me: *Its only a 28' boat.
Matt: *I'll sleep in the dinghy behind the boat or maybe I'll put my
climbing hammock up the mast.
Me: *I get really annoyed and moody when the boat is crowded.
Matt: *OK, Alan and I will take turns, he can go ashore and hitchhike
one day and me the next. We'll leave our caving gear on the boat.
Me: *Where would you sleep?
Matt: *I'll take a piece of plastic I sleep under on my trips. *BTW,
can you carry my dive tanks?

Then there's the single woman who wants to go, how do I say no to her
to keep my wife happy?

Potential Crew: *How much room do you have for beer or booze?
Me: *I don't drink, alcohol gives me too much heartburn.
PC: *Do you have any room for beer.
Me: *Yes but I never buy ice
PC: *How do you eat?
Me: *Peanut butter and Pop Tarts, maybe some apples.
PC: *No beer?

Good, now tell the single woman you are bringing lots of beer, so much
there is no room for her personal things or real food, that will solve
the rest of your problem...
