1Opinion of the Court
TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.
This case, involving the saga of an extremely frustrated boat owner, provides further support for the occasionally expressed view that the two happiest days of a boat owner’s life are the day he buys his boat and the day he sells it. Appellees will have to remain satisfied with this allotment of joy, as we now reverse the district court and hold that there was insufficient proof of causation to support finding the appellant liable.
