Gene, you left a big hole in the boating content when you left, not to
mention a badly needed voice of reason. We need to take back the
group from the loony tunes segment - don't know if its possib

Oh, give it a chance. There's not a whole lot of boating going on anywhere right now.

I won't dispute there were that many boating posts, but I will say the board was very informative and lighthearted in 'the day'...

Likewise, and I work on at least one of the boats just about every

southern Bahamas right now but our first grandchild is due on Friday
so we'll be heading north instead.

I think the problem is we don't have enough interesting stuff happen

on the boat. I am still getting out 3 or 4 times a week but nobody

wants to hear stories about the same 3 or 4 ospreys I see all the time

or the snowbirds I pull off sand bars.



I guess if these new motors broke more often we could complain about

that.

Greg I've always enjoy your 'adventures'.

Yes, and we had a good mix of interesting people like Wayne "Clams"
Canino, Larry from Charleston, Short Wave Tom, Chuck Gould and many
others. A lot of people stopped telling their more interesting
boating stories after Harry started putting everyone down. I guess
that's all he had left once everyone realized what a fraud he was. The
spoofing and sock puppet epidemics chased away a lot of good people
also.

Unfortunately a lot of folks have moved on to web based moderated
forums. There are some benefits to that but it tends to fragment the
knowledge base and doesn't have the same character.
