[Rhodes22-list] True Confessions

[Rik Sandberg]

Brad,

I'd like to say that is my "plan" but the reality is when it happens it 
probably won't be planned so I have to be ready for anything. :-) :-)

Seriously, I've never really wanted to have a big boat or even an 
incredibly fancy boat. I do want my boat to be able to go wherever my mood 
leads me though. I often think about the Bahamas or maybe Bermuda or the 
Virgin Islands. Never know I might be down at Kentucky Lake some September 
and just decide to take her down the Tenn-Tom and out into the Gulf. Follow 
Steve to Belize or something (like I could keep up). And then there's 
always Lake Superior to explore, pretty big water there. Don't know when or 
where I'll go, but I know I'm ready when it decides to happen.

Rik
