Then he asks if I have a coast guard approved gas can. I say no. Ditto a coast guard approve spark arrestor muffler.
He starts writing feverishly, I stand there grinning. Then he scans the mast, the furled main...and says: "Why...why, you don't have a motor."
No schmidt, shylock...

This was funny!
There seem to be two kinds of sailors: ten-year sailors and life-long sailors.
Jake (Notfarnow) is a lifetime sailor, I was a ten year sailor.
It is indeed a great way to spend time on the water, with either the family, the dog or by yourself.
Don't get too hung up on the 'perfect boat', as that can change from person to person and from time to time.
Just get on the water.
