Bell Harbor Marina

It was a winter of discontent.



Sheesh...that would require me to look a bit more closely...I'd say
about half that...around 2000-2100 words.

I really don't know why anyone boats "for pleasure" up there, but I know
a lot of people do. Even where I grew up in New England, "boating

cloudy, cold weather. If I lived there, I'd had a totally different hobby.
