I know, right? He's very self-driven. Although to hear him tell it, I'm the driver. lol We recently had this exchange while watching TV:
Me (watching young husband and wife drive off towards the docks on Deadliest Catch): I wonder how *that's* going to work out?
Him: What's that?
Me: Her being the captain and him being the deckhand.
Him: I don't see your point. It's always like that in marriage.

My dad (the long-legged seaman as Sailor puts it, LOL) loved the last 25 years of his life after the war peacefully cruising through the Intercoastal 6 days a week from 8 to 5 working for Gold Coast Cruises Sightseeing. They had a fleet of 6 boats if I remember correctly including one double decker glass bottom boat. Those boats' hulls were converted PT boats, shallow draft, steady and safe. In those days all the captains had come out of the Navy or Merchant Marines with licenses in glass frames posted somewhere at the helm. As time went on I actually don't know what qualifications might have been needed. Each boat embarked with a captain and 2 crew members. There was no radar on these boats then, but I always remember dad being on the ship-to-shore a couple times a day just checking on any weather or a quick chat.
A little sample of the hulls...(I think it was most similar to the Higgins or Huckins)
We also had our own boat in the 50's, looked a LOT like this photo I found in a Bing search...
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. iirc in the '60's such pleasure craft were known as "cabin cruisers".
There was a lot of work involved, because there was so much wood.
Their fiberglass replacements require just a fraction of the upkeep.

No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

Totally.
Ever seen Tiger Woods' yacht?
It's huge, weigh bigger than my house.
I've been aboard yachts before, beautiful craftsmanship (pun intended?). I went below deck, & it dawned on me, my boat would fit in here.
iirc in the '60's one of the Rockefeller's (possibly David) used to dock his boat on the Hudson, at Tarrytown, at the East end of the Tappan Zee bridge, near the lighthouse.
I think it was a converted PT boat.

Note my apathy
The opposite is true. Guno is a Jewish supremacist. Goyim means cattle. Before anyone thanks a guno posts it is well to remember that s/he wants them dead.

I have never seen his yacht. The ships I command, we call yachts speed bumps........

Oh, you mean like Moon. Love to imply it, would never have the balls to try it. Like that?
Note my apathy
I'm not sure what you are implying about Moon. Are you calling him a Nazi or a Jewish supremacist? I don't pay a lot of attention to Moon because he is a one-trick pony. I've never detected any indication that he wants either you or me dead.
