Made my laugh thanks, I'll be headed down to the 'yacht' better known as the ongoing and never ending project to work on it this soon today, after I finish the pre work in the garage. Can't say I ever thought of myself as rich.

Dang! I didn't know I was rich. Of course I only have 2 decks plus a bilge-so I must not be that rich
Yeah, but we all know better, don't we.
When people talk about my "yacht" I not-so-gently tell them that it's not a yacht, it's a boat. Then I tell them that my definition of a yacht is one where there is a paid crew, and my crew works for wine.
Every non boater thinks all boaters are rich...
If I tell folks I have a trawler, they ask "How's the shrimp running"?
For me the experience is a bit different, when people know I own a boat the dialog is looking like that:
- How big its is?
- 30 feet
- what kind of boat it is?
- A trawler
- ?????

I never use the term trawler in reference to my own boat as here in Australia a trawler is a working boat catching either prawns or fish and that would be an insult to my friends that actually work their boats for a living.
I usually tell people I have a power boat that is a coastal cruiser and good for fishing the reef.
Rich to me would be, having everything on the boat work as advertised all at once! I love when I have an issue with one thing then a week later that issue resolves itself and another pops up! ARRGH!!! HA HA
