Man oh man you ain't nevah lyin'! We get the kid in college, we're wanting to sell the house and get a boat. Crazy. My ad agency is doing work for Kadey-Krogen yachts (trawler style similar to what Lee posts) and it is torture to sit there reading all these trip reports, putting stuff together for the express purpose of trying to entice people into buying one.

Kayaking, surfing, diving, grilled mahi and tuna on the deck, ports of call... I'd think I died and went to heaven.

: I got a little giddy thinking of the possibilities with this design, Lee.
: Mike and Rikki and two friends are using their Catalina to haul their
: kayaks around the world. Their trick is to let two paddle ahead while the
: Cat. stays at anchor. Hours later the Cat. goes a searching for the
: kayakers according to agreed upon co-ordinates. I can see doing something
: like that with your dream boat. Maybe there's a nice retirement idea in
: this for me. Hmmm.
