Back when I had boats in Scituate, MA the town had a fairly new Whaler
set up as one of the Harbormaster's patrol boats. Over the course of a
couple of years it sat lower in the water and was losing top speed.
They hauled it, drilled a hole in the hull and water drained out of it
for days. I think they contacted Boston Whaler about it but I don't
know what the outcome was.


How do the locals pronouce "Scituate"?



It's fun to listen to some of the national news outlets or visitors to
MA try to pronounce "Worcester" correctly.

Up here, it's a two syllable word.
