My wife often reminds me about teaching a cat to dance-You waste your time
and annoy the cat. Well I wasted my time and I have annoyed alot of cats,
some cats got it-some cats kindly called me names.

  We all go through an education with boats-but alot of it is old wives
tales which when repeated often enough becomes folklore. Often the chiefs of
the tribe disagree, because they are the chiefs. I'm the guy on the dock
with the tools and a helping hand, the spare part you can't get, the warning
just before you runaground.

  I got into this because of the top 5 post. The pursuit of "quality" is
fleeting. What we think is good now changes as we get experience. I thought
it silly.

  I worked my way though college  (seamanship,environment and politics)
building and restoring exotic cars, motorcycles, and boats. If II do my own
personel stuff-I measure succes in building it wearing it out and doing it
again, and a second and third time. Each time its better. Its the use of the
tool, not the pocession of the device that I respect.

  I love the water, and use it. I relate more with the  vagabon boater with
the blue polytarp sail and some old roadmaps for charts than I do with
goldplater at the dock. Its not the talking about it-my boats the best
because I spent more money on it thing, its the using of it.

  I'll stay on the list for another day to take whatever punishment I
deserve for being stupid enough in attempting those cat dancing lessons-then
unsubscribe.You won't notice my wake as I pass you-I am gentle on the water
and stupid on land. My aplogies. Kevin
