I know the season is ending.

What do you do with your boat(s) over the winter if you are not in the
southern climes?

I store my old classic in a shed. My newer boat spends the winter on the
hard in a nearby boatyard, in a cradle the previous owner had built for
her. The cradle has an A-frame that can be erected to support a couple
of tarps.

The old boat has a simple inboard marine engine that's easy enough to
service. The newer boat has a pair of diesels that i have an outside
contractor service. I take the batteries home.

Looks like it is a little better than it was at the end of the
year.... what I find striking is how few posts and posters.... and
the absence of most of those that were here a few years ago.

We have a goodly number of posters here who either have no interest in
boating or very little interest in boating, and are here *only* to stir
up crap against posters they don't like. Whatever excuses they offer up
for their behavior, the fact remains that they and they alone are
responsible for how they behave.

That's the reality of rec.boats, Gene.

Well, it certainly seems that I haven't missed a lot in the last 11
months..... though it *is* a little better than it was the last time I
checked in.... July 4th weekend.

I still hate the web groups, but they *are* moderated.... and I do
get useful information and advice...

How've you been? What's this I read about a new boat? You didn't keep
Yo-Ho long!

It started about a week ago... me and Harry got on board, that made it a
lot easier. The spoofers have outlived their usefulness and when we had
the opportunity we all remembered why we came here in the first place,
adn here we are about a week later with a fairly stable base to work our
way back from... Glad to have you back.. Big hugs from Scottysnerk

Looks like I checked in at the right time. It still was crap here in
July.

Hope things stay on track....

"me and Harry got on board, that made it a lot eaisier."

yikes.

The ID spoofers are active again...this newsgroup is not on track and
will never be.

It's just the one... Just hold fire, and use your kill file.

That's what the ID spoofer wants...to "killfile" HarryK or any other ID
I use. Surely you understand that, right?
