very good news!
 
note: update from last fall...
With all the gloom out there, here's some good news.
Two beautiful islands in Mahone Bay have been saved from development and
another in St. Margaret's Bay.
Instead of becoming summer retreats for the absent wealthy, the islands will
be enjoyed by all boaters forever.

That's a good deal. I was sorry to see in Florida some beaches where
access was impossible because of private property development.

The beaches are still public if you can figure out how to get to them.

Dont hold your breath, the rich will find it, and develop on it,
screwing it again for everyone else.

Mug & Wharf?? Is that just before the big launch ramp in the town of
Mahone Bay?
We were there having a few in the fall of 2005 after looking at a Bristol 32
over at Indian Point.
What's this Clubhouse?

Funny you should ask. Received a phone call this morning. If all works out
I may sail as much in the next month as you have in your entire life.
Details will be announced if all works out.
