Aw heck Larry... I'm not that smart... probably not as smart as you.
But, I do own a company that employs a lot of very talented people.
Thanks to them - after 23 years - I am able to be anchored at Bakers
Bay in the Abacos replying to your rhetoric.

Sounds to me like this larry fellow is what we in the technology
business call a "FUD Slinger"
Fear, Uncertainity, and Doubt.
As a boater and a Marine electronics professional, I think this site
is a great idea and I look forward to using it.

Agreed. Some folks have nothing better to do than feed their paranoia that
someone, somewhere, might be doing something. I think the website's a fine
idea. If it takes off, great. But I could really care less what motivates
them. If they put good stuff online and they expect to make a buck in the
process, well, good for them.

This website isn't "free" as long as there is a registration of personal
information to fill out......no thanks.

I signed in and haven't been bombarded with SPAM or anything like
that.

I'm glad that Jeff and Karen Siegel are putting their energy and
smarts into a web service like this, as it's a great idea. There are a
few efforts afoot to be the Wikipedia of cruising guides, and I
compliment them on their take, and wish them all success. It's going
to happen sooner or later.

Active Captain has added a new feature to allow us to enter
anchorages, not just marina's, and it works well.

I had earlier created a marina in the middle of San Francisco Bay and
another in Long Island Sound, to mark two favorite anchorage areas.
Certainly not what the authors intended, but I felt they were just as
important as entering information on marina's. The latest update of
the software allows you to enter anchorages now, and it does it quite
well in that it has a meaningful rating system incorporated, beyond
the 1-5 star rating system for Marina's. I have since converted those
two marina's to "anchorages", here is a copy of what I wrote for the
one on Long Island

(5 stars) You Gotta Love This Anchorage, 2007-02-13
Captain: b393capt, Huntington, NY (690)

Great View, no waves, some wind, 360 Degree View, 300 of which is a
tree line in almost all directions. Numerous moorings around, but
still pleanty of space to anchor. Local's often swim off the backs of
their boats.

Individual ratings given:
5: Overall rating (excellent)
4: Current protection (good)
3: Holding (average)
3: Wind protection (average)
5: Wake protection (excellent)
5: Scenery quality (excellent)
1: Shopping facilities (poor)

... could probably use a zero (0) rating in additoin to 1 thru 5, as in
this case there just are not shopping facilities, but otherwise this
rating system gets right to the point. I image when they add the cell
phone support, I could create a query that would allow me to filter
those ratings that matter for me when I travel with my daughter
(shopping = 4) vs when I want to find someplace overnight or deal
with a storm (protection =4), or someplace to find read a book or
find inspiration (scnery = 5) or persperation (Holding 2)

Check it out.
