You'll have to go into the penalty box for posting something
boating-related.

Give it a day or so, and the usual right-wing assholes will give you
**** for posting it!

Was a decent thread for a bit though, eh Krause?

If you're talking this episode:

"Big Boat on the Bay

Rob and Kim live in Annapolis, Maryland, and are searching for a luxury boat fit for their overnight
trips across the Chesapeake Bay. They enjoy the rich maritime history of the area while looking at
upscale boats with amazing cabins."

Keep in mind that the bay is only about six miles wide at that point. I suppose, if they're going
all the way to the other side of Kent Island they could turn it into a 15 mile trip, something my
wife and I would do in a 15' Boston Whaler!

Yes, but would you want to spend the weekend in St Michaels on your
Whaler? If you want to spend quality time on your boat it's important
to keep the wife happy.

There is a lot of money in Annapolis. You have your Maryland
lobbyists, your DC lobbyists and a bunch of rich snowbirds from SE
Florida there. They like to keep their tax payer subsidized yachts in
Annapolis because it is a short ride from DC.

It is all about the business they conduct on that 15 mile trip. My
Tampa golf buddy used to captain a big Bertram out there and he said
his boss frequently turned a 2 hour boat ride into a multimillion
dollar deal. The passenger list was a Who's who of government
apparatchiks and lobbyists along with big time DC money men.
There is something about calm water, 54 feet of fiberglass and a cute
little girl bringing you drinks that adds gravitas to your pitch.

We went to St. Michaels on the Whaler, but didn't spend the night. The ad for the show says,
'...trips across the bay'. We did use the Whaler for some overnighters, but we took along a tent and
sleeping bags...and a small BBQ.
