Oh my gosh!

Now you are seriously regretting your SF move! I will buy the tugboat and store it for you until you get out here.

Um, couldn't I just buy it and sail it down here?

Wow, you really don't understand boats do you? She was designed for Pudget Sound water. Once you got her down off the coast of California she would immediately sink.

Landlubber!

Really?

No.

You should buy it and sail it down there smoking a pipe all the way. That would be the best thing ever.

So it wouldn't sink? Because for a minute, I was trying to gauge your seafaring knowledge. Here is my scorecard:

REASONS JOSH MIGHT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT

1. He has lived in a port town for a few months now, and probably hangs out with crusty old sailors.
2. He does own a peacoat
3. He correctly referred to the boat as "she"
4. He called me a landlubber

REASONS JOSH MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT

1. He is really tall, and probably wouldn't last long on open water
2. I think his peacoat is from someplace like Gap, which is not super authentic
3. He does not have a beard. That seems sort of key.
4. He is a liar

I admire your methodical approach towards establishing my credibility. Another easy way would be to check out my profile card on tugboatr.com

I attached a screenshot for you.
