BTW Harry, why would you of all people want to hang around a 'right-wing pigpen?"

Every once in a while he gets to hear about real boats.

Well, he's not interested in hearing about your trawler. It's too slow, and there's no way he'd
spend all that time getting from one place to another. Of course, he is pretty quick on his Ducati
superbike.

I guess we shouldn't tell him that slow trawlers are an excellent
platform for viewing skimpy bikinis in exotic locations. Of course
even a slow trawler is faster than an imaginary Ducati.

His trawler isn't slow. Remember, it's got twin Volvo diesels - probably turbocharged - to get him
to Florida at 727 speed.

The idea of spending a lot of time in exotic locations waiting for parts
to fix a broken down old trawler with failing generators, transmissions,
et cetera, has little appeal to me.

I suppose if you never lose sight of the marina, you don't have to
worry about these kinds of things.

If you have long enough mooring lines, you can just pull yourself back
into the dock.

What a great idea. Is that what you do in your friendly neighborhood swamp?
