That picture was taken at Salty Sam's Marina in Ft Myers Beach which is sort of in the boating backyard of "gfretwell" and myself. Unfortunately it's not a very good day for boating right now: http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=33931 I was out for a quick spin in the runabout yesterday but it was a chilly 55 degrees on the water. Today is worse, much worse. It's beginning to warm up in Alexandria, according to the TV folks. But, my thermometer shows 18.5 F out there. Not golfing weather, nor boating. You reckon those folks would let me tie up my Key West at no charge? We' ve a new establishment here called 'National Harbor'. Place has a nice dock, so we stopped for a planned cup of coffee. A young guy comes running out of a shack and asks what we want. I tell him we want to walk up and get some coffee. He says, "That'll be $10 an hour." We left. Now I know why there's hardly ever anyone tied up at the docks. http://tinyurl.com/yeo3lof Are you objecting to the rate or the fact that a fee is charged, because on the other side of the river, in Alexandria, there's an $11 dockage fee for short-term transients that covers a several hour stay. Lots of places have dockage fees for transients. If you used your boat more, you'd know this. My guess is that you are objecting to the fee. You right-wingers are all alike. Johnny thinks the world owes him something for his glorious army service. Maybe they would if he had actually won a war somewhere...anywhere! Or a special wharf for vets who helped lose a war. |
