Just finished reading a book - Take Her Deep!- about the USS Halibut, a WW II submarine. The author, Admiral I. J. Galantin, who was the skipper, included the following statement while discussing repairs: “More than 300 years ago it was said, “A ship and a woman are ever repairing.” And again, “Who wishes to give himself an abundance of trouble, let him equip these two things, a ship and a woman. No two things involve more bother, for neither is ever sufficiently adorned.” For those of us with our boats and Admirals, this sure rings true! btw, I intend to display this quote prominently on board. At least until the Admiral forces me to remove it! |

Anyone ever heard "...If it Floats, Flies, or Fx... Rent It!"? Being a Boat owner, and Pilot, I can relate! |

How's a boat better than a woman???? ... You can ignore the boat all winter long... .... A boat costs less money (arguable).... .... A boat doesn't nag..... My favorite.... You can go out on other boats, and your's won't get jelous! I'm sure there are more! Bring 'em on! |
