aboard their boats out on the water, so they want pleasant facilities
near at hand ashore.''

Please tell us Marty, but for the record I'm guessing it's Bubbles' marina.

Well, it's the Minneford Marina on City Island, the one Bob claims to be
in such good standing with, yet he didn't recognize the name of the
owner in the quote!

He's not the owner. The owner is a fellow named Frank who sails a
Gardener Ketch and is currently building a new marina overseas. His
ketch, Raffles Lite, is one of two teak 67 footers.

Marty, you're just sooo silly. If you doubt what I say, just call. Ask
for the fellow in charge of sailboats. You'll be given my #.

Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a marina
where the caliber of seamanship is so low that the patrons require
instructions to properly secure there vessels.

When did Arte sell? Did he get more than $20,000 per slip?

Sorry, Marty, but we don't trust people to tie up their boats properly.
We don't trust them to refuel at our docks. We don't even trust them to
keep the docks clear. The condo run marina is quite strict and enforces
these rules to maintain the lowest insurance rates around. It also give
me piece of mind. How do I know if YOU can tie up your boat properly?
We make the lines and rig them our way. Seems to work as we're the
safest and busiest spot around and filled 100% again this year.

He never owned the land. Frank did even then.

You're filled 100% with slips for sale/rent, seems contradictory. What
kind of insurance company bases rates on which marina one uses? Enough
of this, you're so full of it that one can't conduct any sort of
meaningful discourse with you.

Huh? Even the slips I'm selling are full now.

Marty, were you born an asshole, or just someone who worked at it your
whole life? Insurance companies do indeed base their rates on incidents
at a various marinas. If a marina is robbed enough or suffers many
sinkings, rates go up. Marinas like ours must be ready for countersuits
based on claims when some pinhead ruins his own boat and makes a claim.
If he tied it up wrong and suffers damage, the insurance co. can still
come after us. And we carry insurance for that which varies according
to how few problems come along. But our systems of prevention make that
a lot tougher for people to screw up and are good protection for
everyone else who CAN tie up a boat. You seem to know nothing about
this and should just shut your big inflated yap.
Really, dude. You know nothing. It's amazing.

What would the insurance company say when they find out that one of the
Marine Surveyors is not licensed or certified?

That one of the marina's "employees" does towing for hire without a
Captain's license?

That the marina has people working off the books?

hmmmm?
