a) is your boat actually in existence?

b) why do you choose the icw over going up the ms/oh?

c) are you trying to run away from the hurricane, what did you do in years past?

a) yes, i spent time on it yesterday.. i will finish moving onto it tomorrow as soon as i get some paperwork nailed down.

b) i probably will never take the icw trip, but it is fun to think about.. i will probably stay right where i am at, and just live aboard it.

c) are you suggesting that i am running from some kind of legal problems? that sure aint the case, i am a very honest man and i have no problem walking into a police station and presenting my identification and speaking with officers.. in fact, there are cops that know who i am and they know my previous criminal history from about thirty years ago. i make zero effort to conceal this fact.

right but, it's, like, legal, to just sail up the river, no?

a) can you sail?

b) do you ever practice sailing?

i am an amateur sailor, i know very little about sailing.. i remember when i had another sailboat back in the early 90's... i just took off out into the bay from kemah texas at about 10pm at night.. i had not a single clue about what i was doing.. i had no idea where i was going.. nope.. so there i was out in the bay headed for the shipping lanes where i have seen large ships passing by before.. i kept hearing a faint noise.. ahooogahh.. ahooogah... oh shit, i thought, there is a freighter coming straight at me... i cut over to the left and there was a very tall wall of steel cutting thru the water.. it was only about 25 feet away from me. that ship almost smashed into me..

if i go sailing from now on, it will not be solo and it will be in the daytime.

funny, my sailling experience is almost a cut copy of yours but I am willing to be your plus one nonetheless.

the messed up thing is that i now have three lifeline agm batteries on my old boat that need to be moved over to the new boat.

two of them weight 125 pounds each, and the other weighs 150 pounds.

i do not want to move these batteries.

these are approx $900 batteries each, so i aint leaving them behind.
