Steve, I have a real comfortable sailing yacht that you can spend as long as you wish living aboard in Florida, the Bahamas, Dry Tortugas, Virgin Islands, Burmuda, etc.... No need to go back to the frozen north until the weather gets warm enough to make the grass grow. It's up for sale and the first person with $25,000 gets it. It has everything you have at home, AC/heat-pump, hot and cold running water, gas stove, gas oven, microwave, full bar, refrigerator freezer, flat screen TV, internet connection, and lots of cabin space. Plus, you can sail to any of those romantic ports without burning more than a couple gallons of gas. Can't beat the deal, that is unless you are like Donny and puke your guts out just looking at the boat sitting at the dock. The only drawback is you cannot carry a car with you on the boat - just not big enough. However, I did see a guy in the Florida Keys with a small motorcycle on the back of his 30 footer, which he used to go just about anywhere he wished. Me, I carried a bicycle on the back of the boat, which pretty much took me anyplace I needed, grocery store, liquor store, post office, etc..., but it required leg power.



Glad you made it home safely, and sorry you couldn't stop by for that steak and lobster dinner.

All the best,

Gary
