LIBYAN PILOTS IN OStiAWA Ten Libyan student pilots have Arrived in Oshawa. The young students are to be trained, in flying at 'the Oshawa Airport with training starting early in September. The group are funded by the Libyan government. You'd think that anyone who finally bought a boat after years of swithering would be able to stop reading the boat ads in the daily classified. Not me. I hadn't realized that the years of indecision had made me an addict, not so much to boats themselves, but to dreams. Astonishing what a power of suggestion there ;•*$ in a few carefully chosen words set in tiny type in the local paper. Some ads manage to suggest the wrong thing. To a practical man, the words "needs some work", especially when applied to wooden boats, is like a danger sign at the side of the road. Not to me, wood and classic are words that tingle. To another guy, added to "needs some work" they spell dry rot in large flaking letters. The cutesy ads Wake me up with a jolt and I start another one almost immediately. There was one in the paper the other day which began "Footitis strikes." If you've been around bpats long, you'll know what "Footitis" is. In my experience it's usually an illness illness known as " two-f dotitis.' ' What that means is that you,have a 27-foot boat, you begin to long for a little more displacement, the kind«you'd get if your boat were ' two feet longer, say 29 feet. The guy in the paper had "five-foôtitis." He wanted to go from 27 feet to 32 feet. That's no ordinary "footitis." The! man is really ill, and the last person you want to buy a boat from, with or without a survey, is someone who's sick. So on to the next dream, quickly. Thete was another ad in the paper which caught my attention, if not fancy, and which rap this way, "1976 Contessa 26 feet, parting parting company with 1946 bank manager, five and a half feet. Both immaculate-and fully equipped. Asking $26,500 (for the boat)" and it was signed a woman's name. Very amusing. But it won't sell the boat. No one in his right'mind would get into that kind of a triangle -- man,. boat and woman. Arid the author's of both ads have either forgotten or don't know that boating is at once a very,sombre and a highly romantic business. ' You don't make jokes about boats, wives or husbands, whether you hope to pass them on to someone else or keep them. So, if you want to sell the boat, or merely merely trigger dreams, keep it tender and respectful. Working this summer at museum
