Elle:
 
Thanks for the link.  I'll look into them for all of my stuff.  
 
The poetry?  Babe, that never stops.  I have an endless supply.  To stop looking bad, you simply make up some personal judgement about what it means to YOU, and then boldly put it out there as if you have a PhD.  I have turned many a reluctant student into able literary critics.  Try this simple poem.

OK, Joe,
Ya gotta stop this...you're making the rest of us look bad...;^)  We gotta get you out onto the water!
(Awesome poetry, BTW!)
Re: equipment...everyone will have their favorites, but I saved a bundle of $$$ buying comma-shaped fenders from here :

BTW....this is BoatersLAND, not BoatersWORLD.
'Way cheaper than any of the marine stores...Buying from them is quick, easy & cheap. In the past I would have suggested that you take the info to B/US...but these days I feel it is unfair to the bricks & mortar stores to try to price match with an internet  guy who just orders from a manufacturer & has it drop shipped to you.  Living down here is a small town we are acutely aware that these people are not only our local businessmen but also our neighbors.

Hey: (greeting that denotes familiarity)
 
     Stan and his crew will deliver a Recycled boat to me around the end of July.  I would put this to him, but I understand that he is "waiting for them to deliver a straight jacket in [his] size," and I don't want to add anything to his pile.  
 
     I want to put the intervening time to the best use in getting what I'll need to sail on day-one.  I'd appreciate (from those who have been down this path) some guidance on things I'll need.  Motor & gas tank, I know.  How about lines, fenders, anchor hardware, PFDs, day and night warning devices and any variety of items you think I'll need to sail...not in oppulent comfort, but you know: just friggin' sail.  I will have it on a fresh water lake in NC. Many thanks.  And Here's a (non sailing) poem for all to enjoy.

         Crush
                                                   JJ Camp
 
It came at night; she half
expected murder 
disappointment discomfiture
 
of other expectations
First: dark quiet 
reigned-in blacker dream
 
dreams dreamer never
saw the crush
approached from her exposed
 
right side, eye unblinking
fracture fractured quiet
undone in the crush
 
the crush. She breathed hard
knuckle bone against
bone, skin rent rendered
 
red under night’s
black blanket, unconscious
rifted shifting. Bright
 
light in her head, the crush
silent crush. She heard
something like television
 
snow crackled then 
and then—nothing 
nothing but the quiet
 
of nothing. She thought:
“So this is what it’s like.
This is what
 
it’s like to die
when fragments 
of love crushed bone  
 
skull bone collapses
yields to fist and flesh 
and crush sometime
 
after twelve, when children
should be asleep, not
hearing, not listening
 
And this is how Mother
felt when Daddy—
when Daddy 
 
when love in some disguise
some disgruntled love drunk
love comes home too late
 
or too soon.                                                      19 August 2003
