   how much can a guy lift weights and ride an airdyne. i think i better invest in some "sailing" movies to watch when it turns white here. of course i will occasionally, like every day go out in the garage and look at her. maybe that will inspire more upgrades. i could spruce up the cabin a bit
happy jeeping

I seem to have gotten in the habit of buying a boat every fall and then spending the winter working on her and fixing things up and getting everything just the way I like it.  I have gotten really good at rationalizing to my wife why we need another boat each fall.  Unfortunately I think she has caught on this year, but I have had a good run going.  Currently 4 boats in the pole barn.  Current project is a 1977 Montgomery 17.  I think the only thing more enjoyable then sailing is working on the boat in the off season and dreaming/planning the trips for next summer.  I am also trying really hard to come up with excuses to keep the Compac, but the wife is buying none of them.

4?  my wife would skin me! I once owned three canoes.  That was a near death experience!

I thought it was pretty quite myself, then this thread on how quite it is is the most active. Go figure.
If only there was this much activity when I need help with some project.

   This begs the question: Can one have too many boats? I think not, but they do tend to consume time, which is not replacable.
   It seems that my wife and I have different definitions when it comes down to the actual counting of boats. Some criteria: Does it float? Can it ever float? Do you use it? Depending on who you ask, I either have 2 boats, or 5 boats. My son either has 1 or 3. See how this works?
   We should thank or former President Clinton for this...getting one's self out of trouble depends on your ability to redefine trouble. Thanks Bill and Monica!

I am just happy that she isn't counting kayaks and canoes in that boat total.  I went through a kayak building phase and built 3 sea kayaks plus the one store bought kayak,  that makes 4, and if you count the canoe as a boat, I guess I have 9 watercraft currently in the pole barn.  Shhhh don't tell my wife that kayaks and canoes are boats :-)

Are Boogie boards boats? That means I have 6. Maybe after this weekend, I'll be able to add more to the stable. A local town declares all boats left on one of it's beaches after December 1st as abandoned. I already have my eye on 2 of 'em.
Keep you posted, Bob23

Got the two of them, but, out of conscience, I'll endeavor to find the owner of the Walker Bay dinghy- it just doesn't look abandoned to me. The other is a plastic 8 foot sit on top kayak (not a real kayak) which might be nice as a tender-on-deck.
Let's see, that makes 6 or 8 boats, depending on who's counting. I'd like to sell my Annapolis Wherry and build a Chester Yawl.
