Happy boating, Norm

Your first visit is on a weekend, normally a very slow time for rec.boats.
Come back during a weekday, filter the few troublemakers, and talk boating.
Most of the same folks that have good advice are still around and will
answer a serious question. And, there's a whole potfull of congenial people
around!


If you filter out the Seven Dwarfs, of which Herring is captain, it can
be pleasant in here.

Sadly enough.....you are correct Norm.

Sorry to hear you are out of boating.
