Stolen from BoatWorks website:

Ten lies owners of old boats tell their spouses—and themselves

1. It's only cosmetic.
2. I'll have her in the water next year.
3. It'll cost hardly anything if I do the work myself.
4. I can sail it without an engine.
5. It'll be out of the driveway by May.
6. Once that's done it shouldn't cost a penny.
7. Of course it doesn't need new sails.
8. I'll start work on the kitchen next weekend.
9. I had to buy that radar; it was half-price.
10. Don't worry, the keelbolts will be fine.

18. "Of course I meant to heel over that far.
I was just trying to rinse out the cockpit!"
