'Ten lies' .

There's nothing like a good belly laugh early in the morning, and I have to share with you SAIL Magazine 's TEN LIES that old yachties tell their spouses - and themselves:

1. It's only cosmetic?
2. I'll have her in the water next year
3. It'll cost hardly anything if I do the work myself
4. I can sail it without an engine
5. It'll be out of the driveway by May
6. Once that's done it shouldn't cost a penny
7. Of course it doesn't need new sails
8. I'll start work on the kitchen next weekend
9. I had to buy that radar, it was half price
10. Don't worry, the keelbolts will be fine

Thanks, SAIL Magazine !
