Since you don't have a boat, Snipper, why do you care?



Even if Skipper doesn't own a boat, even if he will never go to Mexico,
it is an interesting concept to encourage boating tourist and revitalize
some areas of Mexico that could benefit from Tourism. As with most
major projects, there are always major disagreements. None the less, I
found it interesting and like his post on the Blog by a cruising couple
to be the kind of post anyone who enjoys boating would enjoy.

I disagree with Skipper when he talks about the west vs. east, there are
some beautiful places on both coasts, and some polluted waterways on
both coast, but he is correct that the Gulf of California/Cortes is a
beautiful prime cruising area. I believe the real reason he goes
trolling with the west coast vs. east coast is he is trying to get some
boating related topics discussed. People talking about their favorite
cruising areas, and he really doesn't believe his own hype (but I could
be wrong).

Speaking of great cruising areas, how many people have been up to
Georgian Bay? http://www.exploregeorgianbay.com/


Almost trailered up there last summer for the 1st Annual Sandpiper 565
Rendezvous... but the wife was working and the 4000km tow was daunting.
This year the 2nd annual rendezvous will be 1000 km closer (round trip)
at Gananoque in the Thousand Islands area.
