Not only do the Mexican's run the kitchens of the USA, they run the boatyards. My mechanic is Mexican, my rigger is Mexican, my canvas guy is Mexican. They do great work, and they do it quick and cheap. Which means I can pull off all kinds of little boat projects for a quarter of the price.
Like say...a custom cushion for my V-birth on my boat. Fernando busted out the wood insert. Miguel hopped on the custom cushion. And, now I have a nice, comfy complete V-berth that feels like a full size bed on a little bitty boat.
That kind of stuff makes me incredibly happy. As I told the Budro, I ain't headin' east of the Rockies again
unless somebody's payin' me a wad of dinero. I like South and West - where the Mexican's are.
Beautifully put...
