Wow, this AMs topics on rec.boats has to set a new record. I think I saw one
or two boating topics between all the spam for boat numbers/names, the flame
wars, and the political wars. All this after my filters, too. What utter
junk.
I shouldn't whine because I play some of the games some of the time.... at
least not often.
I'm not suggesting everyone stop enjoying what they are doing. I'd just like
to see some boating issues also under discussion for a change. Even Lloyd's
diesel for Christ's sake. I'm desperate.... the weather's not conducive to
being on the water most days so surely we can find something to discuss????
Let's say that the USCG, or US Navy, instituted a volunteer program in
which you would be required to pass a background check including
security clearance, physical (within civilian specifications - we're
not talking NAvy Seals of Marine Recon types here), complete the basic
Captain's level license (whatever that is) in return for which, the
Navy or USCG would pay for the use of your vessel to do port security
patrols and other security type work as deemed necessary and
appropriate.
Would you participate?
