Backed my boat down the driveway this afternoon

Rookie, we asked our accountant if we could deduct our boat as an entertsinment expence or as a second home. He said sure, If you want to guarantee getting audited. Apparrently that is a flag that the IRS uses for prioritising audits.

We've been treating our boat as a second home for tax purposes since the year we sold our actual second home; 4+ years, and not audited yet. It's perfectly legal and common practice for any cruising boat. The deduction is pretty much limited to interest paid and taxes, so it's fairly modest compared to an actual second home.

Not sure about deducting a portion of the boat used for business purposes. I'm sure it can be done but I can imagine how it would be an audit trigger.

We had rain almost every day for the last two months. It's tough to get a break and go sailing, but I guess I won't get any sympathy from you guys in other parts of the country where you have real winters.

We backed it down the driveway....drove to the marina.... and backed it down the ramp.

It's floating like a cork. We took her our for a quick spin to get the cobwebs out of the cylinders and she purring like a kitten.

If the weathers on our side this weekend...the sails will be filled with air.

Spring is here. Yeeee Haaaaaw

I can certainly see where this would be disappointing.
With any luck at all it could have been about six feet of snow.
