I am new here, just a few days. I am wondering, what the **** does this
have to do with boating and or thunderstorms. It always seems to be the
same damn people over and over. Are there any good boating newsgroups here.

Try to wade through the crap. If you have boating questions or comments,
make them. You'll likely get an answer. And, chances are you'll get a good
one.

It could be that rec.boats.cruising is more to your taste, but they have
their problem children also.
