So does that mean your twin Volvo powered trawler is up for sale? Sold it last season. Considered a 30-foot Beneteau pseudo-trawler for awhile...but then we started talking about retiring in a few years and relocating to Hilton Head. Went fishing there with a guide who uses a 17-foot boat and small outboard and caught and released lotsa fish from a half dozen inshore spots in and around the island. Easy boating, easy fishing. Don’t need more than that from a boat. When we want to cruise to a different part of the country, we’ll do it on a plane. So apparently you hardly ever used the twin Volvo powered trawler, eh? |

Say what? We took some “cruises,” but usually just used it in and around the Bay, down to Va Beach, up to Cape May. Spent many long weekends sleeping aboard around the Bay. Almost invited Herring out, but came to my senses. I think we’ll be shopping for a building lot in Hilton Head or a new builder house we can customize as it is built. We’re working with a realtor on the relatively long term plan. My main requirement for a small inshore boat is that it can accommodate a decent Bimini top and is stable enough to cast from a front deck. But you don’t fish. . . |

" Say what? We took some “cruises,” but usually just used it in and around the Bay, down to Va Beach, up to Cape May. Spent many long weekends sleeping aboard around the Bay. Almost invited Herring out, but came to my senses." If you took The John out, he'd want to bring along his bowl of turds. Then your boat head would be clogged until you found someone immune to the stench who could clear the blockage. Hardly worth the trouble. |

I doubt he even had it. This sounds more like he saw one at the boat show. |

Of course it's also possible that the imaginary boat was part of a very real money laundering scheme but nothing in 'Airrees past would lead us to think that, or would it? Hopefully the IRS and other creditors would be on top of that sort of thing. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
