I could buy a dozen new arranger keyboards for what my wife wants to spend on the new kitchen. And, she hates to cook! I do all the cooking here.

As for an expensive hobby, well, arranger keyboards are dirt cheap when compared to recreational boating. Even sailing. First, you need to buy the boat, then add all the goodies, electronics, galley, bedding, safety equipment, etc... So there goes a quick $100,000 for a good, used, sailboat or powerboat, in the 33 to 40 foot range.

Next, you add the cost of storage at the local marina. The boat is too big to trailer, therefore, slip rent ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 for the season must be taken into consideration, plus winter storage costs, which range from $900 to $1,500 to put the boat on dry land for the winter.

Now, that's an expensive hobby - I should know!

All the best,

Gary
