.... From my old boat mechanic.

"Definition of a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into."

Then he got married and his wife wanted a new horse. They named the horse "Bass Boat" in memory of the boat he's never gotten.

Ain't that a hell of a thing!! Too funny, but I hope he liked the horse. Thanks for the chuckle.


PS.... I should have bought a horse.

For example, assuming that the oil gauge showing the engine has no oil is broken. Yes it was a sail boat, but there was no wind and we had to use the dinghy to push the boat. It took about 10 hours to get home.

Or having the dog freak out in the middle of the bay and try to swim for shore. She is a dog who is scared of her own shadow, but she just jumped up, ran off the boat and started to paddle for god knows where. She's very lucky she's a cute dog, because she is a pain in the butt sometimes.

Break Out Another Thousand.

Airplanes are like that, too. Cheaper to rent than buy.
