Sorry, your first response inthis thtread came across as a very smug,
"USCG cert means I know everything attitude. It was all downhiill from
there.

Oh. I didn't intent to suggest that at all. It is certainly not
true. My writing skills are pretty grim and I have got a particularly
poor handle on inflection. It doesn't surprise me that screwed it up
but the smugness wasn't intentional. Thanks for pointing it out and
I'm sorry for the mistake.


Glad we got things back on track. This is much better.

I don't have any desire to PWC in CT and doubt that many other
cruisers do either.

I sense a post from PWC Cruiser, Rich Forman, coming along shortly!

My bad. I look forward the post though. Actually, now that I think of
it, a PWC camping cruise along the inside passage might be a hoot but
CT still doesn't draw me for PWCing. Are there any places you can get
ashore for camping in Connecticut during the summer?


Anywhere you don't get caught! My first cruising experiences were as a
teenager in the 1960's in various small, often wooden, and always
decrepit, sailboats. I would sail to "somewhere" and camp on shore.
Usually sans tent. If the weather was especially bad, I would unstep
the mast and turn the boat over for shelter. I really miss those days.
I was the only sailor and camper in my immediate family. Even today, I
sometimes leave everyone behind, and go away by myself for a few days
of solitude on the water. Nicer boat, now...
