Sure would be interesting to see how far he gets.
Where he ends up.
I believe he put his last boat up on the beach somewhere up North.
First of all a giant THANK YOU to our The people who used to own "A Question of Balance" had the boat on the market for years.
When they finally find a buyer, it happens to be this old, dirty, deaf, grumpy man.
No marina wanted him.
Boat is too small for a livaboard.
Boat has an alcohol stove.
So when the
60 days because "he's sailing to the Marquesas"...
Which turned into 90 days.
90 days of daily phone calls.
90 days of ordering and receiving packages and mail.
90 days of assisting, repeating, repeating even more loudly, yelling, repeating again, muttering not even under our breaths.
90 days of "good lord how can we get rid of him".
90 days of inappropriate comments, questions and conversations with him.
The conversation on Friday:
How do the sails look?
I don't know I've never put them up.
Why don't you do a little shake down cruise and head down to Channel Islands Harbor ~ it's only 5 or 6 miles down the beach.
What?

Where's that?
Do you have charts?
What?
Sorry, Dr. Phil, but if you would just put your hearing aids in, I think this 90 days of you driving us crazy could have been avoided.
Showers and laundering your clothes would have been good too.
Off to the Marquesas...Or quite possibly Channel Islands Harbor.
Well, wherever he ends up we wish the marina staff patience.
Patience, the ability to repeat everything said, a lack of sense of smell and another boat scheduled for that slip in a few days.
We wish Dr. Phil clean clothes.
Success in getting somewhere.
We wish his dog would get a bath.
And that he remembers to put in his hearing aids.

Is he REALLY towing his dinghy sideways???
Glad he's gone and your new neighbors are good cruisers!
Well Suz, he was trying to untangle it for about 45 minutes... and driving in circles the entire time.
I have no idea how far he got or if he is still alive... I think this is his last hurrah. Kind of sad and hard, but we just couldn't keep him in our tiny little marina - we had big boats scheduled to come in!
Smiley Doug & Happy Carla - if you see this boat coming towards you somewhere out there, quick TURN ON YOUR ENGINE AND DRIVE LIKE HELL!
LMAO!!!! I see people like this all the time at our Marina; they come in to dock at full throttle!
