considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:



Sad to see the Oak Island of old go. My parents were at Prov. Co. last
weekend and
said the place was PACKED. They did mention the condo thingys going up..


We were there the weekend before and I believe they opened that
weekend. One bit of good news, though, is that Paul was replacing the
cleats that had gone missing over time. Now, when you visit by water
you won't have to be incredibly creative in finding things to tie up
to....

It only took him how many years???

Cheap B*stard.. My hats off to him for staying put another year though.

Apparently Paul and another fellow (Dave) moved down here from
parts north, to find fame and fortune in NC. They're both musicians.

Turns out,

I have been close friends with Dave for 15 odd years now and had been
visiting Provision for almost as long. I happen to mention Provision to
Dave one eve. He said you mean the "Prov. Co." in Southport?
I say "yea". Then he clues me in on his long friendship w/ Paul.
and how they traveled down here together etc. etc. I think Paul
is a drummer.

Small world.

Dave and I have played in a few bands together over the years.
He did ok too... He recently wed a pretty woman who later recd.
a HUGE unexpected inheritance. He gets to sleep in now that
he's retired from Progress Energy.
