Hi, my name is Otto and I'm a boatahaulic...

Ok, I admit to a "little" excessive/compulsive boat behavior. I "blame" it on 3 things:

First, I live with 3 females. The little ones have more over all the time and a typical female count this time of year is 5 or 6 at any one time. A better example is that we slept 12 on the Carver last Saturday and 10 of them were female. Sounds like a fantasy, but let me assure you my fellow SeaCrafters that all but 2 were under 14. My daughter’s 13th birthday was this past Tuesday. We took 9 teenagers to Six Flags and they all slept on the living room floor. The 24 hours from hell. Need I say more?

Second, the 23 CC project led to my involvement with this site. And YOU, my friends, are partially responsible for getting my boat testosterone flowing too heavy. The damn 4-boat theory became so real I now can't help myself. A good lawyer could make a case against you guys.

Third, life is too short. 6 years ago, I had a close call with colon cancer and am VERY lucky to be where I am now. So, I'm going for the gusto. As a public service to all my good friends out there: If you are over 40 and/or have a family history of colon issues, PLEASE get a colonoscopy this year. It sounds like an uncomfortable procedure, but it's not. The drugs are terrific.
