We used to have another poster with your problem. He solved it by
simply sitting in it, singing "YO HO HO and a bottle of Rum", while it
was permanently parked on a trailer in his driveway.

He finally sold the boat after the trailer tires went flat.

Are you from Kansas by any chance?

Which only goes to show that boating can be universally enjoyed. IMHO it
should be made compulsory.

Where the wind comes whipping 'cross the plains?

Oh wait, that's Oklahoma.

My bad.

Our departed poster developed a water phobia after being caught in a
sudden, overnight hurricane that totally evaded the National Weather
Service. He survived 30 foot seas in his 20 something foot Bayliner
Yacht, but it left an emotional scar.

Ouchie.

It was either a case of superior seamanship or luck or a combination
of both.

In either case, I feel for him.

Live long and prosper,

======================================

That was no ordinary hurricane; it was a certified dorito tostito.

Sometimes I actually miss the old f*rt. Not too often though.

C'mon in. We've got a slough of posters who are in the same boatless boat.
