an errant thought or two…

Chuck Wendig with a very interesting apple review, they’re still killing folks on boats, and in the “she had me at veritable clusterfuck” department…

My better half the other day asked me what boat I’d get if a million dollars magically appeared in my wallet.

It got me thinking…

First of all it, would be a monohull. Sure I thought about multihulls but you can’t really beat the bang for the buck of a monohull.

Shoal draft is a given. Four feet at most.

So, after some serious consideration, the boat I’d get if all of a sudden I had that mystical money would be Reuel Parker’s junk rigged scow…

It’s a very cool boat.

Well, since my boatbuilding days are now mostly behind me, excepting dinghies, I’d be looking for a reasonable, used classic plastic without a rig to do a tradical, junkified, reasonable facsimile of Parker’s design.

Of course, what would you expect from someone firmly ensconced in the cheap seats?
