and getting a little rickety to do it. But still willing to try and crew on and DU'er's boat, if they want.

We simply love it. Plus, we have a refuge in case of zombie apocalypse. Zombies can't swim that I know of.

Mom couldn't wait to get rid of it after he passed away. I've thought about getting one of my own

Didn't sail much last summer because of a sprained knee, but hope this year the ice will melt before June so we can use the darn thing.
