They fed me elk for lunch..damn tasty...I tell you..
beats beef....
By the way, today I showed one of the guys here a good old Atlantic sea bass, I had for dineer one night...and from there he asked what and where was I sitting in the water...my boat, he didn't know that sailboats could be so big (ehehehehe)..he thought 2 wheels was because you need help turning the rudder!!! these guys are sooo funny....different world..
There's a guy here never left the State other than the neighbouring States, and he never saw the ocean...he took off with a whole bunch of my photos, to show the wife. I am having dinner at his place over the weekend
the sailboats he saw before were only dinghies and the USCG Eagle...

That was funny
Hehehe. That IS funny.
True story: When I was towing our Melges 24 back from the factory in Zenda Wisconsin, we pulled into a gas station in Ohio or western Pennsylvania (can't remember anymore). It was just the hull on the trailer -- the carbon fiber mast wasn't ready yet when I picked up the boat.
One of the guys working at the gas station came out, walked around the boat, then came up to me and asked "Say, is that some kind of ex-per-i-men-tal sub-ma-rine?" When I told him it was a sailboat, he was doubtful. He didn't believe it could float with that opening in the transom.
So here I am in Wyoming, (never mind what city)...but it's desolate, desert, void and nothing around other than hills, brown dead grass, railroad tracks, oil rigs and Halliburton SUV's moving up and down the high way. ...
Next time you're at a restaurant, ask them if they have "Rocky Mountain Oysters". You'll love them.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Life in the desert void. This is why I hunger for the perfect trailerable pocket cruiser... to escape life in the desert void. You could launch and float on your personal island, keep it loaded with favorite books, sail it in a pond if you had to. I feel your pain. Hang in there. I have a book I read when in those places... The Coral Island by R.M. Ballantyne. Hard to find, but a worthwhile companion to take you out to sea and away from that sinking landlocked feeling. All Best, Steven
