Here's my Maggie aboard the Ipecac (a 19' Workskiff), watching for whales and ADF&G Troopers. Whales and other wildlife were welcome but Troopers & Coasties received a stern warning. Maggie passed away last year but not before spending a night on the Kingfisher. I'm now without a dog for the first time in nearly 15 years, and it's killing me. I love all of your dogs and by association, each of you. Can't wait to greet those fuzzy faces (both canine & human!) in person.
Wow that's some marina!!! Sounds like a great place to hang out and make friends with people who share your hobby.
for the most part everyone sticks to themselves and their own boats.
Which is the way we like it.
In this aspect you'd like S. FL then
I grew up in La. with southern hospitality, I've never been anywhere I felt as "isolated" as I do down here. Its like people go out of their way to avoid making eye contact let alone a congenial wave. Not everyone is this way, but an absurdly large portion is.
I'd love to have some boating buddies to head off somewhere for a weekend together (not all the time, we like our solitude too), but people seem to wall themselves off down here. Perhaps they were that way up north too, I dunno.

I don't like flat, hot, humid, and on fire most of the time.
Which is why I said you'd likely enjoy the lack of socializing aspect of S Fl boating.
We have one set of boat-owning friends that we really enjoy boating with
This is exactly what we'd like, a few close friends, with more than boats in common. Its just difficult to find those souls down here. Unfortunately it seems that 90% of the people our age down here were bitten deeply in the ass by the housing debacle and are still too far upside down to have any disposable income for such an expensive hobby to get into.
Go south: to fall or slide down; to decline; to fall in value, like "her golf game is going south."
So, save yourself, and live out there in economical California.
~~~There's nothing I hate worse than somebody coming up to the boat on the dock and wanting to "talk boats" particularly when I'm busy doing something, be it working on the boat, reading, writing, or just staring out the window.~~~
Funny that you are so much different here.
Don you'd have to travel with the sportfisher crowd to find folks with the boat and fuel coin to keep up
Good grief,I think the dog has been hijacked.
Woof Woof! Follow that lead, find the thread.Good grief,I think the dog has been hijacked.
