Here's my challenge. You sail down to Balt. I'll race you back up to Atl.
Highlands. Any week in Sept./Oct.

I'm afraid I haven't the time, but my invite to you remains open.
You'd lose that "race" anyway.

Are you really busy for the whole of Sept/Oct?

Nope...plenty of time to sail, but not enough days in a row to make the trip.
Season ends here October 31.

Is that a NY law? or just another one of your lame excuses?

More proof that Scotty knows nothing. Yup, October 31st is a significant date
for boaters in NY. Look it up or ask around.

They shut down the matrix.

Close...but wrong as always. Nearly every boat comes out of the water on
October 31st here.

Insurance ends at marinas and clubs.
All city run marinas close.
Most clubs close.
Private insurance doesnt cover winter sailing (Boat US and others here) unless
specified.
The only boats that stay in the water here are people who own their own slips
or have live-aboard status at certain clubs.

Do you mean their public liability cover?


All city run marinas close.

Why? Surely they can still make money by staying open?


Most clubs close.

My local club has night races almost into December, with an off-season early
in the new year, reopening sometime around March. Do NY winters arrive in
November?

I would have thought that winter sailing would be covered unless
specifically excluded - I'm sure my policy is for a year. Does your
insurance policy state that it only covers a specific period during the
year? When does it restart?

My local, city run, marina stays open year round. The only boats that come
out are those that need anti-fouled, or those that won't be sailed until
next season (so are taken out to reduce fouling, or because the owners want
to save pontoon fees by parking on the hard for a few months).

Most boaters stop using their boats by early or mid-october here. It's rare to
see a sailboat in November. I kept my boats in for two winters and did some
sailing. We never saw other sailboats.

By November virtually all boats are on the hard. It's seasonal here.

Yup. Coverage is between March 1st and October 31st. Clubs/Marinas operate
within that period. Some NY marinas don't open until April 15th. I can be in my
slip by mid-march.

Bob / Scotty,
My marina says they will let me stay until I'm ready to get out. I plan on
taking advantage of those cool November winds. I think it would be
outstanding if you both came to Long Beach Island and sailed with me. I'll
be the referee.
This is a serious offer!

My boat will be out of the water by November. Perhaps Scotty would still like
to go.

No, Scotty and I have never met. I think the guy takes this NG a bit to heart

Anyway...when Alien is clear of the water I'd be happy to come for a sail.

Yup, except the liveaboards. I wonder if Scotty was even able to insure his
boat! What's the hull value? 4K?
Bwahahahaha! If it's more, you should sink her!

Well, I'm married. But even if I was gay, would that worry Scout? I doubt he's

You must have a gay/lesbo child to be so angry...or maybe your wife?

We had extended insurance from Chabina at the time. We never had injury or
damage. You? Didn't you just lose a starboard light from a "supposed"
collission while you were elsewhere?

Seems to me that the NE-US locals in this group should make an attempt to
meet in r/l. The Annap boat show would be a great place to have a beer or
coffee, whichever. I'm sure it would be a friendly, humorous gathering.
