Join The Classy Crowd

As I recuperate from my recent boat excursions and vacation to “The Florida Keys ”, I am enthralled by the various accommodations we experienced.

The boating marina’s we rated from adequate to luxurious. Generally they were resort grade with all kind of amenities. Cost was minimal for services received.
Where else but in America....LaLa Land....can one spend a few dollars and live like ‘royalty’?
There was one 120’ ‘mega-yacht’ for sale at the Fisherman’s Village Marina. The statistics were listed...
.....the fuel capacity was 8,200 gallons.
Marina fuel was costing approximately $2.00 per gallon. In order to fill the mega-yacht fuel tanks, it would have cost...$16,400.00.
Our small boat tank capacity was 20 gallons. Our big boat capacity is 160 gallons.
$40.00 in gas in the little boat, plus dockage, bought us the same view and marina services as the mega-yachts.

Yes, in America....‘class’ is still a bargain!
