About a week ago I called to ask why there is no public dock for
recreational boats in Portsmouth NH.
You would think I was a member of the Talaban. Public docks? Who are
you?


There's three boatramps with nice floating docks, big parking lots for the
trailers and picnic areas for the family within 6 miles of my house, here.
There are more all over Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties we
use. Some are run by the parks and recreations departments, some are run
by the power company up on the lakes, all are free for everyone que'd up
and laughing uproariously as the idiots in front of them try to back the
trailer straight down one of the multi-lane ramps....(c;

Sorry New Hampshire doesn't have them. Our gripe here is the parks people
try to make this beautiful landscaped park out of our boatramps. This
reduces the number of paved parking spots, so on a busy Saturday morning
there's trailers parked all over the grass by the time the fishermen are on
their way to the big ones. There's never enough parking or ramps in any
community with this many boat dealers and boaters....(c;
