Wansy….if you refuse a boat that is being handed to you on a plate…people will begin to think you are not serious about getting a boat

Be funny if a HIAB rocked up and dumped a free boat at Casa Procrastinatos though wouldn’t it?
That’s IT!

You offer free storage for unwanted, gifted boats.
No fear of getting them wet or sticky keels or pesky anti fouling and bills.
And enjoy cockpit coffee and a lie down with fabulous Mountain Views.
And when it turns stormy you retire to the sofa and keep a weather eye outside with cats dogs wives, pretty good eh?
That’s IT!

To an extent yes but we all have restrictions that are determined by our life circumstances, Wansies are different than mine yours are different than those of Emmanuel Macrons. The trick is in both knowing and acknowledging them which Wansie seems to have accomplished.

Weather the keel is jammed or not, boats in general require constant attention.
When left,they like to disintigrate.
Boats are only worth what people are willing to pay.

I think that's what TB would describe as "Free at the point of delivery.".

Are you saying that Wansy could pick up the boat and have his hip replaced at the same time

In my younger days Icould have set sail as I did without a care but having been on this forum I worry about my rigging breaking the rudder full of water,osmosis delamination,fuel bug….the list is endlessAre you saying that Wansy could pick up the boat and have his hip replaced at the same time

Wansy's consideration is sound.
The total cost of aquiring AND operating boat is what counts.
We do set his own time to a cost of zero, but there are still costs to cover.

If you set his own time to a cost greater than zero…it would start an argument
