    I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss. A recent study showed that non-boaters have poorer health than boat owners. Boat owners showed to have higher satisfaction on the quality of their life.

    Good article. Starts to make a case for a boat being a medical expense.
    Shhh! I always thought that boats were just fun.

    The Dr.Lars prescription: Take one Anemone or Double Bling and call me if necessary, although it probably won't be.:D

    Maybe this is why I've been feeling sick lately?! I must be well overdue for a dose of boating! Good thing I'm sailing to Catalina next weekend!
