Hi,

I've been frequenting a wonderful fishing forum full of great local
folks, but I've been wishing for a similar board for boating. I've seen a
few "Canadian" forums, but they all seem centered around the east (as is
can.rec.boating). Is there a boating forum with a West-coast flavour?

If not, I'm thinking of setting one up. Anyone wanna join?

OK, it's ONLINE! :)

http://www.bcboatnet.org

If you boat on the West Coast of Canada (or even the US "Pacific
Northwest"), you're welcome to join the forum. Come one, come all!

Good luck with this. :-)

Very nice site! Clean, simple, very easy to navigate. Did you "bake it
from scratch", or is that something "off the shelf"?

Thanks! :)

It's a combination. The forum itself is pretty much off-the-shelf: a free
program call YaBB (Yet Another Bulletin Board). The front-end stuff is
mine.

I donno about this "trespassing" thing... as soon as you Easterners find
out how good the boating is out West, you'll all wanna come out. Then I'll
have to share my anchorages with even MORE people! ;)

But no, you're welcome to browse: While you're huddled in your igloos,
your boats "winterized" and water solid, you can live our carefree lives
vicariously. :)

Hope you don't mind me browsing too - in Melbourne, Australia I can at least
claim to have no affinity with either East or West. No fears that I may use
up all your favourite spots ....

I like your new handle, Capt. Druid.

I looked for the trolling or political forum and I missed it, can you
provide a link? ; )

Well, most of the trolling would be in the Sal****er board - the
Freshwater guys prefer casting. Politics go in "docktalk", but you won't
recognize the players. We don't have anyone named Scooter.
