You are the kind of wing man all NPD's looks for, someone who is just so

just tells you how great you are. Harry is a joke to everyone, including
Chuck Gould, but you are just so happy to have a buddy, you decide to
overlook the obvious.

No problem, Harry is glad to call you his buddy.


Suppose I could make up a gang of sock puppets. Then I'd have a bunch of
buddies. Do you recommend that course of action?

Don, if I were you, I'd do whatever gained me the most respect. Since Kevin
seems to hold you in high esteem, you should probably maintain your current
profile.

Don,
The only person I know in rec;boats, who used a sock puppet to try to carry
on a conversation with himself was Harry Krause. The only problem is Harry
forgot his IP was included in the post.

As you can imagine the sock puppet was asking Harry about this nice looking
Lobster Boat he saw in the Ches. Bay.

So what sized outboard did you end up with for that inflatable, and did
performance meet your expectations?

Got a 9.5ft Brig (Dingo D285 - see www.brig.com), and have a 55-lb-thrust
Minn Kota electric on it. Goes 6 knots! :) Also, not as bad to row as I
expected, although the oars that came with it suck.

Thanks for asking!

Lloyd, don't deprive all of us Central Canadians (Pat, our un-moderator, is
from Ottawa, still a thousand miles from the "East") of your occasional
discussions of Wet Coast boating. I read them all! But I visit enough
forums, wouldn't add another to my list.

Charles

Oh, I've given up on this forum for boating a long time ago!

And trust me, Ottawa is EAST! Reminds me of when I was driving across
Canada and got to Toronto. Most folks there said I was about 1/2-way
across - make that 3/4! :)

5. directions to "secret" anchoring spots on Lasquitti

8. Lists of boat-ramp locations

Sounds like an idea. I can't find anyone on the Canadian west coast,
either. Not on line, that is. ;-)

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! :)

If you boat on the West Coast of Canada (or even the US "Pacific

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

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.
