What's a yacht?

Not sure about your ship but the mess also served as the armory during action, greeting center for visitors and serving place for chip beef.

a "mess" is only dining... all kinds of things can happen in a saloon/salon.

What happens in a saloon stays in a saloon? Is that the kind of thing you mean?

Yanks say “salon”; Brits say “saloon”. You’d think it would be the other way around.

a marine industry who feared--with good reason!--that the boat buying public wasn't smart enough to know that "saloon" could refer to anything but a wild west barroom that we began seeing "salon" in print ads and brochures.

It's like I always say, "What makes America great is our ability to market like nobody else."

If you can provide me with a shipping address, I'll get that yacht headed your way.

Thanks, Peggy, but, no thanks. I'll settle for braggin' rights. Already have your book and I'm up to my keister in "yachts" as it is. However, if we should ever meet again, I'd gladly take you up on a . Cheers!

Or, as P. T. Barnum put it, “Nobody ever lost a dollar by underestimating the taste of the American public.”

A few weeks ago I was on one of my job sites along the Hudson River on the Jersey side just downstream from the G.W. Bridge when I had a peek at a yacht running downstream with a helicopter perched near the stern. It got me thinking … why would you need to bother with a dink when you've got a chopper?

Pretty hard to land a chopper in Ego Alley , Annapolis,for breakfast!
