Default Dave's Rules of Clubs?


Face it, Rob. You're at a marina that calls itself a yacht club and
hands
out phony "membership" cards so its customers can freeload off others.
The
game's been going on on City Island for at least 35 years.



Dave, how deep does your ignorance run? We have no membership cards of
any kind. Then again nobody here has ever been questioned when visiting
other clubs. And of course we discount to all BoatUS and club members.
Honestly...we don't check anyone's cards either. We just ask.
Yep...we have quite a scam going on here at NMYC! We offer more than
your club, everyone has a slip with power and water and it costs much
more to be here for it. Your "club" offers no service to members, no
deals on gear, no restaurant discounts and basically nothing they can't
charge you for. Do you even have a club shirt and jacket? We do!
Hey, guess what...they're calling for 30 knots this afternoon. Think
the launch can get you out to your boat? It sure won't be fun to BBQ
out there!
Sounds great! We'll be out at 4:00 sailing while you argue with the
launch driver! Don't forget to tip him 2 bucks!
