Ain't life grand in the O.C.? They should've named this company madcap instead of Medcap. Typical behaviour for these folk. 3.75 million yacht!

Damn, and I'd be happy with a Lund Tyee.

Guess I'll just have to run the Spectrum 1700 for a few more years.

That's a pauper's yacht. Here's a much nicer model:

Interestingly, I noticed Ellison sold Rising Sun to David Geffen. That can only mean one thing: Ellison must be building a larger one.

Correction: Rising Sun was too big and lacked intimacy.

Kinda looks like the scow that damn near ran over me at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Not a lake meant for small boats any more

A couple of years ago, a woman was killed when she was trapped in the cabin of a 26' cruiser that got swamped.

Ain't no place for a fishing boat.

Nope....Never really spent much time there as it was a long drive from wine country. I was more for the rivers of S.E. MO. Floated many of them

No need to regulate, people will always do the right thing. Just need trust in the goodness in all of us.

I guess I should tell my story about the time my buddy and myself decided to take a trip down the Current, from Big Spring? (been a long time) to the Arkansas line. About 1973.

Long story short, they ain't shit out there, and you need more than three fifths of cheap whiskey and a bag of some lousy pot. A feller does get hungry, and drinking our of the Current ain't exactly drinking water.

I have since revised my definition of going back to nature to include a powerboat and and at least a seedy fishing cabin with a full kitchenette, air conditioning, with a lighted dock.

And a likker store within 20 miles. I learned the hard way.
