I guess I will move on to some other activity. Don't know what yet.


Sorry to hear that. You really sounded like you were beginning to get it
and have fun that day I went by your mooring and talked to you after your
sail down from Boothbay. I bet you'll start dreaming about it about the
time the leaves fall. You ought to go look at that Contessa.

Roger, it is not that I don't love sailing/cruising.. I have owned four
cruising boats ..

It just gets me when I see how corrupt the harbor masters are in NH. I
asked the
city manager of Portsmouth, NH why Portsmouth, a city which revels in its
maritime
history, has no municipal dock. He told me to call the state harbor folks,
who told me
to call the city folks. Well,, where did all the money go? Then I see an
article in the
paper, the fire department in Portsmouth has a brand new fire boat. For
what?

It is news stories like these that soured me on boat ownership.

Well, if you are going to give up something as great as boating because of
corruption and incompetence in municiple waterfront management, you'd better
give up life in view of the way the rest of the world operates.

You can't get farther from this crap than in a boat. You just have to
cruise farther than Boothbay Harbor.

Buy one of those modest and easy to handle boats I recommended and go
downeast past Schoodic Point. The world will seem as pure and wholesome as
a Norman Rockwell painting until you return.

What Contessa? Would appreciate a link or reference.

It's a reference to a private email. There is a nice looking one in NH but
I send it from my office so I don't have it handy. Shouldn't be too hard to
turn up with a search of the usual boat listings.
