Yes, he would...and I bet he knows how to do the Chicken Dance, too...

You know I think you are right about the chicken dance but his (lack of)
coordination would lead him to hate making a fool of himself while
trying to waggle his arms in time to the music! It's the only
explanation of his dislike of weddings!

Ah, that explains it.

I take it you do understand "revenue from sales" and "net income?" And that
all other things being equal reducing the first also reduces the second?

Sure...I understand that concept. I guess I just fail to understand
how depriving the marina operator from double dipping is creating a
"cost".

Along those lines, would you mind if I slept with your wife while you
are away from the house?:) I am just trying to keep your "costs" in
line.

Depends on what dance you're doing....or if you get into one of those "whp's
leading?" situations.....(mr sails can't dance and count at the same
time....sometimes he needs "guidance"...)

$60 to park a 30' boat that requires no elect. overnight is
nuts.

A piker. IIRC we paid $3.00 a foot in Newport last summer.

Ninety bucks?

The last time I tied up as a transient boat, I paid eight. And
that's because I was honest and told the owners I had been there
all night. Pulling in the lines and leaving was an option, but I
like my karma points.

Well I would consider that foolish. I would have anchored out and got a hotel
room for that kind of money.

Not at all. I just happen to recognize that those concepts are
foreign to those in the legal profession..

I'm sorry I missread your oeiginal post. Your right.

They also have had a long-standing prohibition against a boat
owner doing any bottom work

The day I can't park at a marina that allows me to work on my own boat is the
day I sell the boat.

Which ones are those? I'll try to avoid them.


It's rapidly getting to the point where you can't avoid them. That's the way
things are headed.

Last time I looked, most boats came with those funny bottom-holding
devices called 'anchors'. Judicious use of which obviates the need to
use marinas, thereby saving money for food & drink.

I've spent quite a bit of time in Newport a while back and like any other
decent size city there are plenty of hotel rooms in all price ranges. You
could have walked a few blocks and stayed at a Holiday Inn for example for a
little over ninety bucks.
