Good points but the last thing this boating group needs is more
political discussions.

Amen.

OK, I'll do my part. Most/all of my posts here have been political, but
while the group remains apolitical, I will cease and desist the
temptation.

I don't think there's any guaranty that the group will remain totally
apolitical but the effort has to start somewhere. Hopefully you are
interested in boats, if not you may be in the wrong place. Spring is
coming, even north of the Mason-Dixon line, and the sound of sanding
and the smell of fresh paint and varnish will soon be in the air at
boatyards everywhere. Even here in Florida people are taking
advantage of the dry season to haul boats and get maintenance done.
It's time to start thinking about summer plans, equipment upgrades and
all of the rest.
