Captain Barnaby Buys Pumpkin Yacht. Deeply Concerned About Seasonal Depreciation.

Captain Barnaby has questions about the resale market.

A tabby reclines inside a giant pumpkin yacht resting on a wooden cradle beside a marina.

A first-time yacht owner has called an emergency meeting after learning his new vessel is expected to lose substantshul value before Thanksgiving. His broker had described it as a limited seasonal opportunity.

Captain Barnaby paid extra for the sun deck and insisted the purchase was an investmint, not a cry for attenshun.

“Other people rent their happiness,” he said.

His accountant recommends immediate liquidashun. The chef has made an offer, although it includes the captain’s quarters and a stick of butter.
