    I hadn't thought of creepy crawly types of visitors. I was refering to 
rednecks out to be butt heads.

    I know how this can be. I am ex-navy and I can remember how the sky 
looked when I was out on cruise. It is definatly beautiful.

    This is some great advice. I thank you a lot. I wouldn't have even 
thought of something like this until it was too late.

    I hope so. I really don't see any bad points to one as of yet. I really 
think a pontoon boat is more suited to our slower paced lifestyle than any 
other type of baot.
    It's been very nice talking to you and I hope to do some more.
