Yeah lets just stop using gas, and stop fishing, and stop boating, and stop driving, and stop hunting, and stop working...hey, wait this just might work out. We could even put sails on our V20s. HMMMM...

what would you suggest randle. i have it easy. i'm 2 blocks from the train station and dont even burn 2 gallons a week commuting. my wife is about 2.5 miles from work and doesnt work in the summer. the beach is 100 yards from my house and thats where she and the kids spend most of their summer. the boat is (will be) docked about 2 miles from my house. my parents are about 2 miles from me. AND. . . . . i'm still struggling financially. we spend about $500. a week or more in groceries and these kids are getting hungrier every day. not to mention these new york taxes. but i hafta fish and boat and beach and cruise. so there is no easy answer.

As promised, I spent Saturday at the dock on maintenance and repairs, and listening to all the boats running up and down the ICW. I swear, one would never know that fuel prices were up from this time last year, judging by the number of boats out. I told my wife when I got home that I thought I was listening to the Indy 500 on radio!
Sunday and Monday were our days to spend on the water. Off we went, around the point of our little neighbor island and up into a nearby creek, away from the main channel and its compliment of cruisers, skiers, PWCs and assorted idiots. Dropped the hook, opened the cooler, went for a swim, and while the wife read I fished a bit. Blue skies, nice breeze. Not much biting, so I nodded off . . . Oh, yeah. Time to pull the anchor and head in. Tied up, checked the log: 5 miles round-trip. Monday we shoved off, wifey asks, "How's our fuel?" I replied, "Same as yesterday!" and off we went on the same 5-mile tour. Life Beez Good.
