I'd only half joking put that as a big minus!!

Least with a boat you have a reason to exist in a universe devoid of meaning.

My childhood hero...Robin Lee Graham....then the youngest person to sail around the world.....after his epic voyage...moved to Montana....you could say he is an epic CLOD.

A real CLOD would say - will fixing the leak improve the harmony of the universe? will my inner being and aura become fulfilled by doing it? Is it my karma to be the one to fix the leak? Doesn't the water have just as much right to be inside the boat as outside?

All the while - the boat sinks, but the questions are certainly interesting

Karma is always being on the boat when a leak is discovered

Fixed that for ya!

my boat karma turned out to be a mixed thing in the end

BTW it isn't true that "what doesn't kill you makes you strong" in the boat karma world IMO

Well there are generation member issues. Lots of members couldn't have handled the CF of 10 years ago, let alone the one of 15 years ago.

I'm a firm believer in karma.
All of the people, I treated badly, had it coming to them.
