Skipper's trolling.

====================

Dang, who would have guessed. All the time I was thinking that he had
a legitimate issue that was keeping him from cruising the Bahamas. My
guess that the Bahamian's instituted the charges to discourage the
riff raff who were trying to go there on the cheap and live off the
land. Looks like they got one.

It's nice of him to be concerned about my expenses though.

Wayne,
I figured that Skipper was trolling for a boating discussion. It really
doesn't matter if he will ever go to the Bahamas or if most of us will ever
bring out boats there. His post encourages On Topic posts, even if you
disagree with him.


If the Bahamas boat tax was only applied to Americans, I could agree
with Skipper. I also think Canada should start imposing additional
fees/taxes on our exports of natural gas, crude oil & electricity to the
US as a pay back for the Bush administrations shameful antics in the
softwood lumber dispute.
