: While out in my wooden lapstrake Melonseed sailing skiff I
: frequently meet women on a tear (moms at the beach drinking sans
: hubby or kids and exhibiting pack behavior). They usually get in
: the boat without asking and stay longer than they should. If you
: want to meet women build a wooden sailboat. You will have to
: beat them off with an oar.
: My wooden kayaks just seem to attract men.
A couple of amusing stories about my plain old plywood canoe. Hope canoes are allowed here! Before it was launched my paddling buddy comes around to view it and brings his daughter. She took one look and gushed "Oh, it's adorable!" So she has been called Dora ever since - the boat that is.
Sometimes I take her (again, the boat, stay focussed you guys) to the local park for a paddle. Sometimes When I go to put the boat back on the roof of the van I get a bevy of cute things admiring her and inevitably a couple of husky young guys show up offering to help with the loading. I'm 70 so I guess they figure the old guy needs all the help he can get, and they get to show off to the chicks. Dora only weighs 20 lb so I lift the boat with one hand, thank them sincerely for their offer and toss the boat effortlessly up on the rack. it's juvenile of me, I know, but I get a kick out of it. I should probably grow up.
