Those are the good times.

i must say I am very impressed with the quality of the stories told and the repairs made to wrecked boats.

I had a new ultralight canoe crushed under a heavyweight fiberglass canoe full of sailing and other gear, probably weighed 100 lb; just sliced the little boat in half. Happened during a fire in the garage when the poly cord holding the fiberglass boat to the ceiling melted. I threw both of them away: perhaps I should have shown more determination and undertook repairs.

Just because it was smashed, charred, soaked in water by the firemen, then tossed into a dumper, was not an adequate excuse to give up on it ...
