Now I get it.
 

The B. O. A. T. in the name of this group has nothing to do with
watercraft, it stands for Bull**** Of All Time. I'll have to find
another place to discuss boats. Sorry for your trouble.

LOL! Come on and stick around. There are plenty of knowledgeable folks
here who can answer your boating questions.

Yep, the discussions turn to other things than boats....just like
discussions at boat docks, marinas and on boats.

So what do you want to talk about?

Cars, planes, relative merits of marinade for bluefish - all kinds of
things.

Fried chicken - I have a hankering for fried chicken.

And watermelon - I love watermelon.

How about your hypocrisy?
You try to belittle me for spending "my life's savings" on a modest 19'
sailboat, but now are contemplating spending the exact same mount on a
similar sized boat.

If you looked below the surface, you'd notice that when someone posts a boat
question, even the various warring parties quiet down and provide some
excellent answers.

I'm partial to either nothing + a little lemon on bluefish, or tomato slices
& feta cheese. Are we allowed to mention Greek cooking here?

One of the very few things I miss about Florida....Tarpon Springs. If
you get out of the touristy parts, you can find some excellent Greek
food.

Same with Long Island. Galaktiborikos - damn!

OK, about Tarpon Springs. It is expensive and cruiser hostile.

Expensive ia in mind of the encounterer, as it were.

Example...

We have a local fishhouse that charges 10 bucks for a dinner with two
first-class crabcakes, hushpuppies and slaw. The cakes are almost all
crab, fresh, and gently cooked. Delicious. Not on the water.

We have another local fishhouse that charges $35.00 for the same dinner.
It's on the waterfront. Its fishcakes are no better than the less
expensive place.


And why, pray tell, do you not give names?
