If my theory proves correct, there will be some excellent deals
available on boat pretty soon. Folks who are only so-so committed to
the pastime will
look at continuing payments, moorage, maintenance, and insurance for a
boat that "we're not using anymore" and elect to sell. Could easily
make the perpetual buyer's market in used boats even more affordable.

SW was noting that yesterday, but not being familiar with the water we
were on, 80, variable clouds, no wind, no boats either. Now that you
mention it I have noticed it this summer, in ways that's better for
me, although I know it means other boaters have been spent off the
water and I feel bad for them... I keep offering my skiff to my
neighbor so he can go out if he wants to save a few bucks. He has a
Grady 22 with a 150, docked 60 miles away. But he has been getting out
every weekend to camp on the water. Probably just does not cruise as
much.
