Microholism; was Re: More Micro Questions / homemade wine for homemade boats?

David,
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!My oh my!!......after a shot like that I
suppose you could build any Bolger boat your heart desires just as
long as you show up with it at the LAKE CHAMPLAIN BOLGER MESSABOUT!
By the way,as one looks at the photo,which way is North?Where is
it relative to Burlington?
Thanks for that wonderful photo/link!!!
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,soaking up the photo for later use in my dreams
tonight,on the shores of the not so beautiful St.Lawrence......

Couldn't I build a Surf first, just to see if I can overcome this thing
"One Day at a Time"?

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

David, looking at pictures of the shores of Kingsland Bay (like this one

2-pronged bay in the center . . .left fork is a state park, right fork is
public sand beach and anchorage)

David,
Relax, take a deep breath, and just walk toward the light. Order
those Micro plans, you know you want to. You know, in your heart that
your Elegant Punt really wants a big sister she can follow around with
her painter tied, to lead her through thick and thin. After all, she is
a tender little thing, and a tender she wants to be.
Go for it, you know you want to, we will all stand by you, you're
among many Micro mentality friends, Go for it, you owe it to your
Elegant Punt, you know it is futile to resist.
All the best, Stan, Snow Goose
