I should have told you guys/gals this is for the store only. We have a
separate marina building on the water for service, and a separate sales
location on the highway 7 miles away for boat/motor sales. In other
words, no need to include 'boats' in the description. The name is for
the store only and the "Brown's Marina" part will be listed on the sign
above the name I eventually choose.


I offer you this -- a quote from one of Patrick O'Brian's
Aubrey/Maturin novels (The Thirteen Gun Salute p27 of the pb):

[T]he land's main function [is] to provide marine stores --
it [is] not a place for real existence. [Patrick O'Brian]

Thus, a simple "Marine Store", while not particularly funny,
might be just what you are looking for.

BTW, welcome back.

Ballcaps? Somewhere in this house I have a box of ballcaps from the
softball team I used to play on and partially sponsor...we were the ESADs.

And that's what we had on our caps.

If I ever uncover the box, I'll send you a cap.

Heh, I've been lurking all this time. I read all posts in
rec.boats.xxx by the half dozen or so regular posters that
I have in my watch list. I find that one or another of
these few will eventually post to any interesting thread
and I can then decide whether to read the entire thread.
I can keep track of quite a number of 100/day or even 1000/day
newsgroups this way with a reasonable outlay of time.

BTW, I still have r.b caps and burgees, although I've only
been averaging about one request per year for quite a
while. I did just update the inventory page (and unfortunately,
the costs -- now $15), so feel free to get a replacement if
yours is showing the ravages of time.
