Absolutely yes. * We have lost a lot of good people who were serious
boaters because of all the BS that goes on. *Probably many more took
one look and never came back. *It might be interesting to start a list
of the MIAs. *Here's a beginning:

Chuck Gould
Tom Francis
NOYB from Naples, FL
Gene Kearns
Eisboch
Wayne (Clams) Canino
Lloyd Sumpter
Karl Denninger
Larry from Charleston
Karen Smith
Bill Grannis
Dave Brown
Vic Smith
Del Cecchi
Capt. Bill in Sarasota
Steve Weingart
Steven Shelikoff
Norm (N.L.) Eckert
Russ Glindmeier

I'm sure there are lots of others.

And that's just a fraction of the list.

There used to be some great boating stories and advice here.

Most of it in fact.
