Excellent, Joe, thanks! Words to live by . . . Honestly . . . I don't apologize for
the time and money I
spend on boating because I genuinely think it's a worthier pursuit than many of the
other activities that
occupy my life . . . Call me irresponsible, but that's my value-system . . . :-)

For the record, here's the exact quote from The Wind In The Willows. I
always keep it handy to remind myself just why I love to spend so much time
on my boat, either in or out of the water.
Joe Kidd M15 #207 "Poco A Poco"
There is nothing -- absolutely nothing --
half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats...
or with boats...
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter,
that's the charm of it.
Whether you get away,
or whether you don't;
whether you arrive at your destination
or whether you reach somewhere else,
or whether you never get anywhere at all,
you're always busy,
and you never do anything in particular,
and when you've done it
there's always something else to do,
and you can do it if you like,
but you'd much rather not."
-- Kenneth Grahame, The Wind In The Willows
