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.

And the marina nuts take advantage of the situation it seems. $1500 to roll on
some bottom paint!
