not in a marina but the ramp is 6 miles away . I can leave work at 2;30 ( I
work 6am-230pm) and can be on the water by 330pm. That includes hooking up the boat and getting beer and smokes Steve "JimH" wrote in message ... ...........your marina? For me............26 miles...........a little over 1/2 hour drive. |

The world today is now surrounded by the "feel good" crowd......drop a dime on a charity, display a ribbon on your car, walk a mile for a cause, ,do as I say but not as I do........... Add in the groups who have no regard for life or family values and this is what we get. I feel sorry for the world my kids and their kids will have to grow up in. |

Cripes - that's cheap. Yeah... regional.. I know. We have a price war going on at the marinas now, one o them has dropped to 960.00 for the summer season (10 x 30 finger dock) they figure it is better to get something rather than nothing. The marina I was in last year was over 30% empty, and wthe 30 ft and smaller were about 60% empty. It will only get worse if the clowns push through the CO2 crap and kill what is left of the auto companies here. I pulled the boat about a year ago when my dockage went from $200 to $350 overnight.
