    Yes,it was that '97 newsletter that we saw, too.

    That may have been the one with a letter from me in it in which I told the Mariah people that my husband and I sat in our boat in the garage, when the weather was cold, and had a cocktail while we listened to music. It may have been too cold to be on the water, but that didn't deter us from enjoying our boat no matter what the weather.

    And you didn't invite any of us down to enjoy a cocktail too??? Shame on you.

    Shame on us! We should have thought of you... sooooo, come on down. We'll have a pitcher of Margaritas waiting for you. We have one of those blenders you can plug into the auxilliary outlet in the boat.

    You need to come south, anyway, to extend your boating season. We don't have the big muskies down here that you have up there, however. Or don't you fish? lt would be a shame, living in prime fishing territory.

    We like to fish so much that I made a casting platform to put in place of the bow cushion. Works like a charm.

    I drove 2 hours from Atlanta to Alabama to pick up my '94 Z225... On the way back with the trailer hooked up, my truck started vibrating and I was scared #@$%less. Stopped a couple of times, kicked myself for getting into this boat mess... couldn't find a darn thing wrong...

    I thought the boat would fall off and I'd see it bouncing around the freeway. I unhooked the trailer, drove to the next walmart, bought almost all the tiedowns they had and secured anything that could be secured on the trailer and boat...No change - it was vibrating away. By now, anxiety had given way to full blown panic.. First I had parted with hard earned money and now this thing was shaking away...

    I thought maybe the guy who sold it to me would take it back for another couple of thousand... Maybe I could sell it to someone else while on my way back... While these thoughts were racing through my head, I crossed the AL-GA border and all of a sudden, everything went quiet.. No vibraton, nothing...

    Moral of story: I-20 from 'BAMA is like a dirt road...

    The 182 Barchetta we're buying Friday is about 1 hour away from home, and about ten minutes from where our sailboat is slipped
