Tell me about it! I just got the quote for my next order of anchors.
Defender and West Marine are dropping the Spade because of the exchange
rate. I will have to go up a little on this next order. The economy may be
strong but there is definitely something wrong.

I've been looking at prices here in the Netherlands and I was a bit
disappointed to see a 14' was about 2500 and a 12' was about 2100
euro's.

I'm beginning to feel like a Canadian or Australian, here in the states.
I
noticed the other day a Euro was about $US1.35 now. Very strong Euros.

I also see Portabotes have a yahoo group that may be of help...
