Wally,
I believe beer weighs more than simply simply because you must consume more  
to get the same affect that you get from rum. Besides, rum just tastes  better.
I have been toying with purchasing another boat for some time now, but the  
need for additional crew turns me off. It is hard to get crew and I don't want  
to give up sailing because I can't find anyone to go out with me.
