I CRACKED UP at the comment about wearing life jackets like diapers. I did the SAME THING growing up! My parents had a house and boat at Lake Livingston (in Texas). Too funny! I just had to thank you both for this blog and that little flashback! :)Debra Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805436360994990915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580803911138944660.post-33694553118367357102011-06-30T12:09:11.856-05:002011-06-30T12:09:11.856-05:00Great habit, I heartily support it!

We have barely had any days above 68 degrees... Doesn't feel like Summer at all!<br />Cheers, KyraKyra and Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417805121851873284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580803911138944660.post-69414344138295312252011-06-30T11:47:15.573-05:002011-06-30T11:47:15.573-05:00LOL Barco ... love "Captain Ron"!

Tux and Pete ... thanks for checking in and we're now following your sites. It's great to follow others that are also working on the dream. Sandee, it's always great hearing from you and we know you're enjoying your gorgeous boat in California.

It pays.<br /><br />For instance; You buy a boat for $10K. Sail once, and the value of your trip is 10K. That's an awful high expense for just one sail. Next trip? 5K per sailing experience, etc. The goal is to get the value of each trip to zero, which is a mathematic impossibility. <br /><br />"Incentives are good; I learned that in rehab."
