Not a boat discussion group?

A discussion group site listed rec.boats as a place to talk about boats.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of that here or is the season over for everyone?
Pretty much, but with the economy, even the most prolific boaters spent
little time on the water this year. I will not name names but if you
stick around for a day or so you will see probably 50 unanswered attack
posts from basically three posters and one brave spoofer who is trying
to keep them occupied so the rest can have civil conversation. Just
filter the first 4 posters to throw wild accusations around, and you
will be just fine within about 24 hours.
Again though, we tend to talk about guitars, racin', boats, cooking,
photography to fill in the spaces between our boating outings. Think of
it more like a dockside bar and grill, choose the clique you want to be
associated with and join in. If you get by the bull**** there are some
veeeeeeery knowledgeable boaters here, some active, some, uh, "retired"
as it were... but still knowledgeable..
In your honor I will replace my usually abrasive, politically charged
sig file, for one of my kids race team sigs Now it's up to you to make
a boating post, we are eagerly waiting...
OIC.
The season will end soon for me. I boat in Long Island Sound. It is in
the middle 50's today, but there is a brisk breeze and when I took a
look from Shore Drive saw whitecaps outside Branford Harbor at the R34
Cow & Calf buoy, which was about as far out as I could see with my
little binocs.
