Grew up on the water and absolutely loved it. Meet my better half. She was a farm girl. I wanted to stay on the water, she wanted a farm. The prerequisite was the farm had to have a pond. Needless to say I now live on a farm with my pond. Learned long ago, If Mammas not happy, nobodys happy!! Besides that the boat was not going to function in the fields.

Reason for owning pond:
1. In a kind of, possibly, sort of, twisted way; make Mamma happy. Might be stetching it a bit, but it sounds justifiable!! I think they refer to this as fuzzy logic.
2. Save on wear and tear on the boat.
