This isn't the place for interesting boating posts and hasn't been for
years. If you want boating posts, find a moderated group on line. There
are many from which to choose.

That's too bad but is yet another aspect of his dysfunctional
personality. My advice is to have a thick skin regarding Harry and
post away regarding your boat. Maybe it will be contagious.

We're in the process of planning a cruise down to the Florida Keys for
some fishing, R & R, and change of scenery. Stay tuned for further
updates. Any recommendations for good places to hang out in the
Keys? One of our past favorites is Snapper's on the south side of Key
Largo near the Dove Creek resort.

As I said, *this* isn't the place for *interesting* boating posts. Don't
forgot to share the "dots" from that really interesting program that
shows your boat's progress on a chart. Wow. Fascinating stuff.

Actually Harry, Wayne is trying to set a good example here. Why do you
persist in dissing the efforts of Wayne and others to initiate boating
discussions. It would seem that you have lost all interest in boating
since you became boatless. (imaginary twin screw volvo powered world
cruiser aside)

Why do (nearly every one of) you respond to all of Harry's posts. He
comes here for attention and it seems you can't show him with enough!

Ditto with Justwait, BAR, Canuck, jps, Happy John, Oscar, *e#c,
iboaterer, and I probably missed some.

Prove me wrong? Search for the last boating post any of them have
made. In fact, check out their machine gun postings on everything BUT
boats.

If you are bright enough to realize that the Zimmerman, the Hatteras,
and the twin screw volvo are just rambling braggadocio of a perpetual
malcontent, why the hell do you keep going there, stirring the pot?

If you don't stir the pot it will burn. Nothing burns Harry's ass more
than lack of attention.

Some of it is more interesting than 99.9% of the so-called boating posts
here, most of which are banal and mundane, just like the one I posted
here earlier today. Hell, there aren't even enough actual salt water
boaters here to discuss the different results you get from different
bottom paints along the East Coast. The three actual outboard mechanics
I recall posting here are long gone. There probably aren't a half-dozen
guys here who actually have boats and even fewer who can write a
cohesive sentence about them.

Had the weather cooperated, we were going to hop along the far side of
Chesapeake Bay to a spot for a combo lunch-dinner seafood treat. Maybe
next weekend. A "boating" trip of no great interest.

You might be surprised. Any restaurant recommendations on the
Eastern Shore? We have found good places in St Michaels, Oxford and
Crisfield but I don't remember the names offhand.

The Waterman's Inn in Crisfield is pretty decent for Crisfield, but I'd
give it only an "average" rating so far as seafood restaurants go. We've
eaten at another place there, the name escapes me, but it was mediocre.
Crabcakes at Watermans are very good.

Schooners in Oxford is pretty good for seafood.

Talbot's in St. Michaels was good the last time we ate there.
http://208talbot.com/

The Crab Claw in St. Michaels is interesting. The food can be good or
bad, I don't know why, but the place often is packed and sometimes there
is a half hour wait for a table. Probably because of the views and the
"color."

Yes, Waterman's Inn was definitely the place we found in Crisfield.
Interesting town.

If you are anywhere near Solomons you should try the C D Cafe. We've
been there twice and it was excellent.

Bob, I have been doing a bit of research, here. I have found what I
can post (and to whom) to start a firestorm of OT ramblings.


Additionally, the corollary of that is that I have had a VERY hard
time eliciting ANY response to boating posts. I assume that the
explanation for that is that nearly everybody that owns a boat
and/or
actively engages in boating has, long since, left this newsgroup.


While there may be some good will in wishing to return this to a non
political group (as it SHOULD be), they simply have nothing to talk
about with respect to boating, fishing, or the like.


Without a fulfilling hobby, the remainder of posters have become
very
predictable anxious people that have nothing to do with their time
but
wallow in the anger of politics and the economy.


This will never again be a boating newsgroup unless these people
leave
and allow for a cordial, non-judgmental, and friendly atmosphere to
return, which will allow those actually interested in boating to
return.


That won't happen because those people have nowhere else to go,
having
been kicked out of every moderated forum on the net. Sorry to sound
negative, but I think this is a realistic answer.

So poopsie,exactly which of your illicet nautical posts were you
expecting to start a lively exchange with? We all must have missed
them. Snerk!
