He is quite a raconteur. An interesting guy.
I knew things were expensive in the Bay area, but I didn't realize that a couple deli sandwiches could cost $55.00. Wow! Impressive show!
As for those spars, obviously Roger has you thinking. Are you thinking about replacing your spars with carbon fiber ones, and then fly in a young lady from someexotic place to paint them so they look like old aluminum? She can probably even put in the old plugged holes where screws used to be, and the chaff marks where the halyards banged against the mast. Neat!
