Does anyone else get a weird, crude web page about job interview questions when trying to visit Lowell's boat shop to look at dories? Try this link: http://www.lowellsboatshop.org/

I think the .org website is an example of an internet scam called "phishing". They try to get you to provide personal information by impersonating website of a legitimate business.

If you don't have anti-spyware programs installed, you'll want to get it now. Those sites typically install programs that steal your passwords and credit card information. :(

The link on WB's "Site Links" page is to www.lowellboatshop.org. (http://www.lowellboatshop.org.) That's also the address in Lowell's Boat Shop's "Come Row!" ad in WB mag. But .com works, so whatever.
