Re: [Paddlewise] The Wife's Ultimatum

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.

Boy, am I fortunate. My wife not only understands the purpose of a quiver  of 
kayaks, each with their intended design, but fully half of the fleet is hers. 
 There is the day boat for sea and the trip boat, the surf boat and the  
whitewater boat. I mentioned I may be in the mood for a play boat and she rolled  
her eyes, but understood completely. She sold her play boat and just went with 
a  river runner as we are more bashers than anything. As far as opening other 
 horizons, well, that just requires a new beach to launch from and that's as  
different a horizon as we can expect.
 
Cheers,
