Shut Up And Bail

I recently talked about bailing leaky boats.  I now realize that you may be thinking "Waah, waah, the Ivy League-to-be spoiled rich kid had to bail his fleet of boats."

Quite the contrary.  I'll give you the Ivy League-to-be part (which required a 766 on my SAT math, so there WAS a tad of work involved), but no spoiled.  No rich.  We're talking a 6' punt and an 8' rowboat that were apparently crafted in the last century and never touched since.

Our main strategy was to slap a thicker coat of paint on in the spring and hope for the best.

And bail a lot - builds character. And, apparently, curmudgeons.
