Time is of the essence!! I have 30 minuets before the wife gets home and catches me with another boat.

I have used the "It just follow me home" line once to often. And the classic "No one was taking care of it" plus the old stand by's "It hadn't been in the water for years." and "It was a deal" so these won't cut it either.

I really need something new!!!

Anyone else have a good line they can share???

Current fleet that she knows of.
1991 H18 SX
1984 H18
1992 H20
1981 H18 which should count because its a borrowed boat.

BTW, I'm only an hour or so away in Benicia if you want crew or want to sail with me on my Getaway in the Carquinez.

My day job (supplying the wine industry with packaging)/ office /warehouse is in Benicia off 680 near the mothball fleet. Currently I'm storing the 84 H18 there.

Name if after her.

If she gives you side-eyes then name it The Other Woman.
