    Given the hardships in the airline business I will have to put that first one up for sale. Thanks for posting pics of it! I don't use it much these days anyway.

    Those are pretty. That second one is very sculptural!

    I would like to be out on one out in the Sea of Cortez eating a Turkey sandwich and potato chips with my dogs.

    I think custom yachts are a waste of money..............most everyone can fit on a standard sized yacht IMO.

    Is that where the "Rich Corinthian Leather" in the Chrysler Cordoba comes from?

    I like the yacht Flying Wasp that Judge Elias Smalls owned. And daughter Lacey Underall, of course.

    I had a 23' sloop once. This inland water is too crowded to enjoy these days. New cyclist friend builds and restores wooden boats. Hmmm mebbe a powerball ticket is in order. Buyers market all 'round I'd say.

    And yes, while I've quite comfortable logged many miles on production yachts, if this powerball thing works out, I'll be ordering a custom built, wooden, flats fishing boat made by Travis Hickman.

    Travis at speed: (near boat)

    :cheers:

    Default this will be your nexted trip

    Chuck Norris is expected to win gold in every swimming competition at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, even though Chuck Norris does not swim. This is because when Chuck Norris enters the water, the water gets out of his way and Chuck Norris simply walks across the pool floor.

    Whoops I deedn't realize my fox paws. I started with a sloop and ended under power. Run up the spinnakers boys, sail on.

    Well, in case of emergency or survival situation, I can handle a sloop.
