Mary... that was a great post....and I just smiled and smiled as I read it....

As I read it I thought you:

1. Have had lots of bad luck with boats....

2. Spent enough time on lots of boats to have had lots of "on the edge" experience...

3. Hang around some pretty wild and crazy boat driverds.... or

4. All of the above.

However, the question remainds...If you want to scuttle one that's given its all....how do you get it to sink...
