Interesting conversation re: demographics

Despite my griping about the hassles of boat ownership...once you're actually out on the water, boating is great. This is Pappa Stichill at the helm with me in the First Mate's chair, about 17 years ago on Lac Vieux Desert in northern Wisconsin.





Pappa Stichill bought the one-year-old boat in 1966 from the original owner, who was being deployed to Vietnam.

I've kept the boat in my garage for 25 years, two states away from where he lives. The old man won't turn the title over to me, even though he can't even get in the boat anymore. It's been garaged it's whole life, and when cleaned up and waxed looks like it's almost new.
