| Member: Pat I found your web site purely accidentally and was delighted when it popped up. I was looking for some boat humor to give to our skippers at our Boston Antique & Classic Boat Festival. I did better than that. I printed out your website and gave a copy to each of them! I enjoy the waters in and around Boston as well as the mid-Coast in Maine. No, I don't have a boat, but am fortunate to have several friends who do. / Posted - Wednesday, September 5, 2001 _________________________________________________________________________ Pat, y ou dida nice thing for the club and we appreciate it very much. Thanks!! Jim |

| Member: George
I am 55 years old, like boats of all types. I do not own a boat, but no trip to the Jersey shore without watching the boats of the bay and ocean. / Posted - Wednesday, August 22, 2001 _________________________________________________________________ I think you may be the one who has it right George. Boat watching is a lot simpler and certainly less expensive! Jim

| Member: Bob New boater last year. My wife and I love to fish. Her saltwater and myself both, salt and fresh water. In Iowa there is only fresh water so I have the upper hand, I thought! I showed her how to use a smaller hook for bluegill and crappy. I of course used the big stuff, spinners plastic worms and jigs. Last year I cought nothing and she cought something every time we went. I was the joke whenever friends came around. I still love her and I showed her this year. Our boat had some motor problems and a friend said we could go to his pond. Well I put on a *10 hook with a bullet weight and a 7" blue/black worm and grug it along a little off the bottom and cought 8 large mouth. Smallest was 1-1/2lb and the largest 3lbs. My wife was very happy to see them,so was I. Hope to hear from you soon Bob H / Posted - August 21, 2001 |
| Member: Ed Hi Jim, Thanks for having this "yacht club" for those of us who dont have our noses that high in the air!! Lets see, my favorite body, that would be my other half, oh, of water u wanted, well then it would have to be the intercoastal waterway around the Cape May county area of NJ! We just like to cruise around, have not got into fishing as of yet, but want to. We own, actually just bought, an old 1976 Cruisers inc, 21 footer, cuddy cabin with an old 1986 235 Evinrude. I bought it for something to do actually, something to work on both in the summer months and in the winter months on weekends. U know very well how much work will be required to keep it looking its best! I am not much of a boater as of yet, although as a youngster, ages 8 thru 16 I was an avid boater. I wish I knew where all that knowledge went because while taking the boat out for the first time last weekend I hit a piling and then I couldnt even get it docked on the way in. I had to get the guy that used to own it to dock it!! I guess and hope that all I need is practice, if not, I am going to have to hire a "boat valet" to dock the damn thing everytime I go out, LOL!!! Well thats it for now, except I came across ur website in an advertising section of the March 2001 edition of Boating Magazine and am glad I did so!! Looking forward to hearing from u soon, take care, ED & Rene' / Posted - Saturday, August 18, 2001 ____________________________________________________________ We are also very glad you found us Ed!

Member: Todd We are located approximately 1/2 from the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Our favorite water activity involves liquid refreshments and people watching. We are weekend boaters and are slipped at Harborview Marina in Ludington.We heard about your club from fellow boaters / Posted - Thursday, August 9, 2001 ___________________________________________________ Todd, thanks for your comments.

| Member: Peter My favorite water activity: Sailing the 7 seas. Do I own a boat?: I do not own a boat at the present time. I was shipwrecked in the Tasman Sea (hit a sunken container??) and she sunk out from underneath me. I was rescued by a Japanese freighter which was directed to me by the New Zealand Air Force, the direct result of activating my EPIRB. I am a wooden boat affecianado and am presently looking for "My" Wooden Boat so I can sail again. How I found the club: I used AOL's "Keyword" looking for a printable calendar to keep track of my busy schedule as a woodworker and I chose to print out yours, the rest is history. What a great idea to have a simple printable calendar!!! Good on ya. Sincerely, Peter / Posted - August 8, 2001 _____________________________________________________ Peter, your membership comments have been added as one my all-time favorites for so many reasons and on several levels. I just would not know where to begin. I'll just say we are very happy that you have joined us and we wish you smoother sailing when you get your boat. Jim |
