When will this end??

Our dinghy has an inoperable tumor in its floor!!

It sure seems like 10.5 years must be a magical time that everyone designs their marine equipment around!

We've had great luck keeping everything together, but the last two months have been a string of one breakdown after another. 

I knew we were pushing our luck with this dinghy, but now we are certain that we've used absolutely all she had to give!

Time for some more shopping!!!

  1. Step 1: Put on goggles & protective clothing (Debbie's favorite top should work.)
    Step 2: Move dinghy away & downwind of Morpheus.
    Step 3: Heat sharp metal spike to a glowing red.
    (Again, one of Debbie's needlepoint needles should work.)
    Step 4: Crack open beer and ram that needle ONLY through the top layer, thus "lancing the boil".
    Step 5: Having gone way too deep and the dinghy bursting open like a pinata, chug entire beer as you realize you forgot to remove the engine and the dinghy sinks beneath the surface.
    Step 6: After being "rescued" by vacationing lingerie model(s) on neighboring mega-yacht, quench thirst with offered adult beverages, request dry cleaning services, and a turtle burger.
    Step 7: Enlist new "friends" in performing an interpretive dance celebrating the life & travels of the beloved dinghy.

  2. Ah she's got life in her yet. That first picture looks like she is now. Maybe it'll be like Rocky, she'll last another 20 plus years. Hahaha
