What compels a man to build a boat?

Three signs of old age:

1 Forgetfulness

2 ..............

3 .............

I can't remember the other two.

 

Now I am confused 'cause I still love my lady of 13 years and I figure that is reciprocated as love is the only explanation possible - so my objective is to get away from all those other distractions that "society" burdens us with....

No need to compete with the Jonses or socially accepted norms, just get nekked and relax.... in comfortable isolation (in the middle of the ocean?)...

 

Stop by the local appliance store and pick up a couple of refrigerator boxes, use you last drops of gas to drive to the nearest freeway on ramp and make a home for yourself under the overpass. The is the life of most boat builders. Cardboard is rather comfortable, once you get use to it.

 

Are they epoxy encapsulated with bronze staples??

 

Sadly half of SA's squatter houses are built like that, they however don't build any boats, rather strip and sink them. Difficult to understand the mentality if you don't have to deal with it... but I don't want to go political now. If you US guys are worried about your $ currently, just think how it must feel for us with the ZAR at one eight... and sinking.

 

There are two golden rules to success -
1 - Never tell all you know.

 

If you bring along your last can of epoxy and waterproof it you can build a boat. But that's how we got into this fix ...
