It's what my kids refer to as "dotage"...LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194754360386448.post-16030688786044275122013-07-07T14:45:51.941-07:002013-07-07T14:45:51.941-07:00"A/C?

When are you going to start dragging that prop and put some sheets up to be more "environmentally friendly"?<br /><br />The Barco is a pleasure barge and as such I do have a lot of respect. Sailing is much more work and sail craft have far less space.<br /><br />I have sailed and prefer dragging a prop now that I'm in my dotage (over 50).LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
