Well said Joe. A golfer doesn't expect to sell his clubs several years and games later for what he or she paid for them. He or she doesn't expect to get all the money back they spent on green fees, shoes, golf balls.

I enjoy thinking about the boat and sailing and working on her almost as much as I enjoy sailing her and besides, it keeps me out of the bars, off of the golf course, and out of the Harley showroom.
