I decide to try to call marina to find out if its ok to leave boat there and cant find the marina in the fon book or information, so I bike over 1 mile, knock on the guys boat, hear him inside but no1 comes out. neighbor says he’s there but prob thinks its him, I tell him I just wanna make sure its ok to keep it there and he says yes or it will just be moved over a spot or 2.

Gary calls and says I should tell the guy his a/c is new and would save time etc. if he left the 1 installed there and take Gary’s new1 in exchange, I call the guy back and leave message.

as Im signing title Gary talks to neighbor in marina about new canvas for Bimini top and gets price of $500 for new Bimini top with sides and a mainsail cover.
Gary says he will bring that money tomorrow.

buy boat, owner says ok to leave there to Saturday

Gary comes @ noon as promised we goto bank, he writes check for 3k, says 2k will bounce but has overdraft protection, get 3k cash, and I have $500.

Tell Gary plans to get sailboat, ask if he will help, says yes.

look online for sailboats

On the weekends go back up to Miami and stay at Gary’s condo on south beach.

apartment- money wood be gone after few months.
van – asset but need license, insurance, place to park.
sailboat- asset, more like house, no insurance/gas/money needed. lots of +’s
