A sailboat sure wouldn't fit into my budget either. <BR/><BR/>If we get another Saturday off before summer is over, I may go hang out at the lake and see if I can get some good pictures, though.Becky Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901212090175780900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-65524995129304121062008-07-15T14:43:00.000-05:002008-07-15T14:43:00.000-05:00Funny you should mention that, Ash.

I know you're on dial-up, but maybe when you're over at Lou's you can watch <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f6CHPMw4QA&feature=related" REL="nofollow">this video.</A> These "houseboats" are pretty much boats in name only (but they are in the water, albeit with no motors or even gas tanks), and you live closer than close to your neighbors... it's kinda like a wet RV park. And they are UNBELIEVABLY <I>pricey</I>, even to rent. The cost was ultimately what stopped me from doing it... But like you, I thought about it!Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-84885907689968722512008-07-14T20:37:00.000-05:002008-07-14T20:37:00.000-05:00Your GG's are something else.

Yesterday was not the day for that. <BR/><BR/>Buck, I think our friend Scott is a bit of a maniac about sailing, but I just don't get it. Maybe if we lived near a huge lake or bay or something other than these mud puddles around here, I could understand the need to have a boat. But since Scott does have a boat, we can just share for now.<BR/><BR/>Becky, maybe you need to find a friend with a boat - go online and look for sailing classes. Maybe you and Jesse will meet the man of your dreams on a lake - well maybe not.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-86745275968847453202008-07-14T16:45:00.000-05:002008-07-14T16:45:00.000-05:00Ah...boats.

I've had friends and family who were devoted sailors but I never caught the disease, Thank God. The folks I speak of were "real" sailors for the most part, meaning they owned boats without motors. "Maniacs" might be a better term, now that I think on it.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you, Lou, when it comes to boats... right up there on the bow, drink in hand, once a year or so. other than that? No, thank you.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-71958130782876277622008-07-14T16:29:00.000-05:002008-07-14T16:29:00.000-05:00Hobie catting sounds like sooo much fun.
