Craig,
   
  My wife doesn't mind how many kayaks I have, as long as she doesn't have to go out in them. As I like to say, she's an indoor cat. So I have to be very careful when I take her outdoors, because one of two things will happen. Either she'll freeze to death or the coyotes will eat her.

  This has been brewing for a number of years but apparently my recent
aquisition of a Mariner Express was the straw. My wife thinks we have too
many boats. Especially kayaks. She thinks my obsession with floaty things
is... well... obsessive. I suppose two sailboats, three dinghies, two
jetskis, 3 whitewater kayaks and 3 sea kayaks might be considered "too many"
by some; certainly no one on Paddlewise. Anyway, I use almost all of them;
or someone does... occasionally.

She told me last week that I have to open my horizons and find new hobbies.
She thinks she'd be ok with a teen-aged girlfriend and a crack habit... but
no more kayaks. At least until I sell some.

So I'm thinking about seling hers.
