Donn, perhaps you are very lucky! Now I'll be out to greet the postman everyday until he coughs up my issue.

Yeah, Ed Harrow mentioned getting his, so I got all excited and thought mine would be due soon. I got home and saw a plastic wrapped magazine and thought it was here. Imagine my dismay when it turned out to be 'Cruising World'. My sister bless her heart, gave me a gift subscription. Well, maybe today it'll be here.

Rats, now I'll be looking for it! Usually it comes a little before I expect so it's a welcome surprise but now...
Oh well. Just make sure you don't tell us about the contents or we'll really be gnashing our teeth!

This seems really unusual. We in middle America usually get our WB before those of you on the coasts. (After all, you have blue water, so it only seems fair. :D )
Now people from both coasts have their WB and I haven't seen mine yet. Maybe in today's mail when I get home? <Fingers crossed>

Just to tease a bit, there's a fantastic spread on troller conversions around and about Puget Sound. Maximum boat, minimum brightwork. And that one-pager on a shopmade boathook sent me straight to the shop. But that thing under "Designs" leaves me shaking my head. Some things I just don't get.
Since it's not my night to cook, I'll get to read a bit more. Seems to be another good 'un!
Should reach Oz in a couple of months...

Kermit troller conversions around and about Puget Sound. Maximum boat, minimum brightwork. .
Aren't they so cool the interiors are wonderful so cozy
The photos haven't made it through the article yet on the Herreshoff P - WOW Hello how much of that boat is original or did they just use the old boat as a template. Gives that constant restoration question another go how much can you restore a boat before it becomes a NEW boat.
Anita, what's the story are you talking about the editors page regarding wooden boats being denied at marina's. Curious minds want to know

Joe: I found it interesting that wooden boats are being denied at marinas while glass boats are allowed. Somehow it seems very ecologically incorrect. The material a boat is made of has nothing to do with whether it gets neglected and becomes derelect.
Here on the Central Coast of CA, owners of glass boats pay higher marina fees than wood boat owners to cover the added cost of disposing of a glass boat that becomes a derelect. Wood is biodegradable while glass lasts forever.
Seems to me that marina owners have it a bit backwards. They should be paying more attention to how responsible the owner is than the material the boat is made from.
I was also curious as to how widespread this ban on wood boats at marinas is both nationwide and worldwide.

Anita I agree kinda stupid (Obviously were all gonna say that here, duh Wooden Boat forum) But I do think a non discriminately rule like the one mentioned, requiring a survey of all boats over 20 years of age, is not a bad idea.

My boat fits both Anita's question on wooden boats in marinas and, the troller conversion article. I'm currently converting a troller (http://www.home.earthlink.net/~tetapa) and, had problems finding a slip. I was told "We don't allow workboats with our yachts" many times. I was told "It's wood? We don't allow boats that need working on". I finally found a marina owner who thought I had a great project (Lee's Landing). She even invites friends over to show them my boat! Oh yeah, I'm in Seattle.

Perhaps $1,000 bond or "derelict" deposit for any boat.
Would you make, say, Larry Pardey or Irving Johnson hire a survey done before letting them in? Would they agree to it?
Your own pier or anchoring out's a whole lot better than a marina, anyway, in my view. And I know a guy who lost a nice antique Chris Craft Connie in a big marina fire, started by a negligent guy at a nearby slip. Just some melted metal was left in the mud of the bottom.
Why pay more for a riskier deal? If if's convenience someone wants, what are they doing around boats?
But, admittedly, there are parts of the country where access to the water is very limited, and the marina may look like the only way to go...

I agree with you Joe that ALL older boats should have a survey done. I have a feeling many boat owners are not as knowledgeable about their boats as many on the forum. I view it as the sort of preventative thing all owners should do.
Here in the Monterey Bay area there are limited opportunities for mooring a boat in the bay. So far as I know there is no discrimination at the few marinas and harbors. In fact, inside the Monterey breakwater, it's kind of fun to see commercial fishing boats in slips near yachts.
