I'm sure there are lots of others.

And that's just a fraction of the list.

There used to be some great boating stories and advice here.

Most of it in fact.
I thought about this a week or so ago and had an idea.
Do you think we could tag everything that strays off the boats as "OT"
I tried it for a while and nobody got the hint.
If we did, a person just looking for boat content could just filter
"OT" out. This would be a pretty empty NG tho ;-)

makes sense to me...

Well, since people have names, what's wrong with that?

has anyone in rec.boats own a boat, use a boat, know someone who once saw
a boat?

What's the difference between a Tri Delt and a boat?
Not everyone has been in a boat!

Isn't ARK a boat?

ARK is a bee in a balloon. Stomping on your face. Forever.

Absolutely yes. We have lost a lot of good people who were serious
boaters because of all the BS that goes on. Probably many more took
one look and never came back. It might be interesting to start a list
of the MIAs. Here's a beginning:

Chuck Gould
Tom Francis
NOYB from Naples, FL
Gene Kearns
Eisboch
Wayne (Clams) Canino
Lloyd Sumpter
Karl Denninger
Larry from Charleston
Karen Smith
Bill Grannis
Dave Brown
Vic Smith
Del Cecchi
Capt. Bill in Sarasota
Steve Weingart
Steven Shelikoff
Norm (N.L.) Eckert
Russ Glindmeier

I'm sure there are lots of others.

How many of them left because of Harry directly?

Nah, it's a bus full of bozos.

It's a little known fact that buses are required to float
for at least 20 minutes.
