Gregg....who do you fly for?

It looks like an Air Logistics paint job. We fly in them all the time in the Gulf of Mexico. And I sure dont miss that New York weather.

That truck can be the poster boy for Florida.

No wonder you guys haul the boats out early.

Good Fun..

Actually,it's all in good fun..or meant to be.Sorry about the nerves.The restraunt you speak of WAS Johnny Walkers..its gone but there alot of nice places in the area.If you've not been here since the time of J.W.s..you wont know the place.It's been taken over by the Tourists..much as the Carribean has in the last 10-15 years and the area is fast losing its charm.You missed your chance to retaliate..the Summer months here are BRUTAL..I get out very little in late July and August..brutal I tell you.

Guilty as charged

I'll start a little fire storm to warm the place up I humbly admit that I was a slip trespasser last week that regretably displaced its owner.We were 50mi from our dock and bad weather laid us up at a yacht club where we were encouraged to lay over in a supposedly available slip. The commodore AND dock master both insisted that the only storm safe, empty slip was for a boat on the hard until the following week. We tied off, hitched a ride home and returned the following week to find the slip tenent had recently returned and was displaced at a T-dock. OOPS. He was somewhat gracious(a true gent) but I don't think he'd been told by the powers in charge about giving us their graces. It had all the potential for a messy dock discussion. No harm no foul as far as I care but if he'd have been an irrate hothead, who in haste had screwed with us or the boat, grace would have been exhuasted immediatly. Lets be civil, people need to take a deep breath and think before ripping about how put out they are. Occaisionally, but not always, there is a decent reason for the imposition. Granny always said be slow to speak..I'll put on the flame suit now.May bad weather or a dock shortage(or both) in a foreign port never befall youMichael

If I had planned to be gone for a week

I would tell the office. If I returned early and found another boat in my slip I would tie up somewhere else and check with the office.
