Ratty, Wind in the Willows I have in my mind an ideal boat, with everything I need and nothing I don't need, beautiful and fast. The only problem is that the boat in my mind is a different boat for every trip. :-) In the world I will use a boat that is at hand rather than spend too much time on what is wrong with her. I serve her needs and she serves mine and after a time we part and both find new partners. Perhaps we both win in the end. michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
