THE BOATAHOLIC

close family member, who shall remain nameless (hello Dad!), amuses my mother and I with his assertions that many of the boats in the same marina as his never get used, simply because he never sees them being used (ignoring the possibility that owners may be using them at different times to him). Some might this year. Total engine hours at the end of the season were a disappointing 45, less than half that of last year. But it’s not due to waning enthusiasm.
