I was of the opinion he wasn't going anywhere, he is just giving up stewardship of the boat. My guess (and hope) is he will stick around to keep us all in line. Howard On 7/20/05 6:53 AM, "bownez@juno.com" <bownez@juno.com> wrote:

Connie, Luckily, you have probably hundreds (thousands?) of "other people's boats" to go sailing on whenever you wish. No muss, no fuss, just step on and go. And in ports and on trailers all over the U.S. - and the oceans and canals of the world. In my count I am of course including all of the M-boaters :-) I'm on the other end of the decision (although I'm decades past the blush of youth myself), wondering if I should commit to a project boat. These boats really make one sit back and analyze one's life, don't they? I do hope - as others have expressed - that we will not have to do without your words of inspiration. Please tell us you'll choose to stick around! People with your experience - and your marvelous ability to tell a story at the same time as you impart a bit of wisdom - are rare finds, and I've always been so glad you chose a Monty and were on our list. So don't be a stranger! --- Rachel (Heck, I haven't owned a Monty for over two years now - just *try* to get rid of me ;-)
Connie, I have to agree with Bones, that you're still young. My Grandfather remarried at age 82 (fifth time) and 'bought' a boat to use in Florida. He passed at 95. Don't let the numbers fool ya & you may want to re-think this. Besides we need your guidance as the other email noted- to keep us younger ones "in line'. Gordon (another old salt?)
