Not really. Looks like it could use some oars, though

Don't you have any photos taken closer than 80 yds away?

I can tell that it isn't a Sunfish, though.

uh, you do realize I'm married.

Boats and learning about them are not stepping stones to some
end. They are an end and a beginning in and of themselves.

He and many of us are bothered by this because it's pretty clear
by saying something like that you have no concept of the art of
sailing.

I don't think of my boats as 'stepping
stones'.


That means that you never looked upon your previous boats as learning
tools to
an eventual end. While sailing the Mac, you NEVER thought you'd learn from
her
and move up to a more comfortable yacht.
You may not like the term, "Stepping Stone" but it's what most of our
boats
are. I love Alien, but I have dreams and plans to own a larger boat in
warmer
waters. The moment I think that thought, Alien becomes a "stepping stone."
I
wonder why the term is upsetting to you.

RB

Neither do. You're ranting. Perhaps that's the explanation.

Yup. The 5 or 6 largest economy in the world. Some of the best sailing
there is. I think I'll stay.

end. They are an end and a beginning in and of themselves.

Like many philsophical statements, the one above has no real meaning.
Almost everyone who sails has progressed beyond the abilities of their first,
second and even third boats. They were stepping stones.
Allow me to help you with the term:

Websters: Stepping Stone: 2 : a means of progress or advancement

Hmmmm. Like many people, you're offended by the capitalistic element introduced
to a passion that you feel is well above such things. It isn't. It takes money
to sail, a boat, usually a car. It's not exactly Yoga, now is it?

and they are losing 30,000 yuppies a year to Colorado. must be the beer.

today, California is no different than it was 150 years ago. The state is
broke, it has no electricity, everyone speak Spanish, there is shooting in the
streets, and the women are somewhere else.

the population of nyc has remained about the same since 1960. yuppies and
immigrants move into "the city" and the boroughs to replace all those leaving.
Averages out.
