I think I finally got an ID on my Grandfathers Boat. Ever heard
of a
Waymouth?. An older fishing charter Captain down the Lake from
me ID'd
it. Dont know if it's positive, but he swears that's what it is.
Gonna do a google on it, and see if I get a hit.


Can't say I have.
Is it spelled Waymouth or Weymouth? S.
The Brits have a bad habit of misspelling many words.

Eisboch
I happen to know that you also have a Weymouth in MA. (we have one
here in NS of course).
A future professional hockey player named Bobby Sheehan, who was in
my grade 12 class when he played his junior hockey here, came from
there.

As a matter of fact, I believe our village got it's name from the
Loyalists who left Mass in the mid 1700s when the ungrateful rabble
was acting up..

My gawd. You sure do know your geography.
And when it came time to fight for what's right, the pansies ran
north.
What's the matter...?
You still sore from your navy days when someone sabotaged you by
putting sand in your Vasoline?
You sure have some oblique "penpals." Is SepticTank FloridaJim
referring to U.S. males who headed north during the war against
Vietnam so they wouldn't have to bomb or shoot women, children and
villages in order to protect Topeka, Kansas, from an invasion by the
Viet Cong?

I think he's buried way back further in the past......to the United
Empire Loyalists who remained loyal to the King.
Most gave up all they had to re-settle up here. My maternal
grandmothers' family came up from New York after the revolution.
We probably have a legtimate claim to a tiny piece of Harlem....

Ahh. Perhaps you can outline for us how Canada and Canadians have
suffered the last 100 years or so by maintaining ties to England.

At one time the preferred trading status with the Commonwealth including
Great Britain meant a lot.
At this point... the questionable spending to maintain the Governor
General in Ottawa and the provincial Lt. Governors expenses as the Queens
representatives might bother a few citizens.


Yeah, but the Queen comes to visit... :)

I can remember getting excited about that as a kid.
We lived one city block from the Lt Governers House and the motorcade was
always coming or going during Royal visits.
You have a 'Queen' of your own down there in Connecticut............ be it a
short, ponytailed version.
