We've got some guests coming north from Florida this week

for the
holiday. Two hours in the plane and they're here.



But they don't get to wake anybody.

Nope, and they don't waste their time going 8 miles an hour getting here.

That marks a fundamental difference between us, one of many.

I have *never* regarded any time spent on a boat as wasted.

Maybe you should get your nose out of the computer and watch
where you are going....oh. that's right, everybody else is

Toy sailboats would have no chance at all.
