New Boats for 2009
US auto sales dropped 26 percent in September, manufacturing fell to a 7-year low, and the Fed is weighing further cuts in interest rates. But still the Bush administration and some of the country’s leading economists are reluctant to admit that the country is in a recession.
What does this have to do with boats you might ask? Well, either literally or metaphorically everything can be related to boats. Like the economy, they can float high or low in the water, they can track well or poorly, they can list to the right or left, have great initial stability and poor secondary stability, and sometimes they take on water and begin a slow descent into the depths of the sea.
Some people would say “stay the course, this is no time to change boats”, while others would say “we’ve been on this course a long time and look where it has gotten us - it’s time for a change we can believe in.” Personally, I believe such change must happen and that it’s going to necessitate a re-evaluation of our footprint not only globally but personally. One of the big changes will be a reduction in travel to exotic destinations and an increase in domestic travel as people begin to explore their local environments. Already this past season we saw an increase in guests from British Columbia and I suspect we’ll see more from the US next year. With this in mind I’ve chosen to add five new boats to our existing fleet. As I write this the boats are scheduled for production and I’ll be picking them up at the factory in April. Em, ….new boats
