Just got home from 4 days at Metro Beach. Got caught in a major hail storm when trying to leave the launch this afternoon. But what a great weekend for boating. The water is warm enough to swim already. Seen Chips new Donzi on Saturday afternoon, looks real good. But didn't run into anyone else. Irish did you make it out?

The Moot can be whatever you make of it though. If you don't go over by the filth you can avoid it if you want to. I NEVER tie my boat up to "the line." I'll walk through it a couple of times here and there, but I generally anchor by myself or with my friends 50 yards or so out from it, and walk over for the chit-show and come back to my peace and quiet.

Out Saturday and Sunday, I think I saw more boats on Sat than on Sun. I have a 42 Fountain with Red, Yellow, and Silver graphics. Not fast but I think I look GOOD!!!!

Repos don't really have much to do with it... A lot of those fools drive to Harsen's Island, jump in the water and walk over to the party (which is why they're always trying to "bum" a boat to sit on).

Example: People that would normally buy a cheap pontoon or a 16' runabout, buy a 26' Searay and have NO boating experience, then see my boat backed up to an island and think, hey that looks easy. Then with their single screw searay, and a stong detroit current back their boat up into the sand. Then drop theire anchor directly off the front of the boat. Then spend the next 45 min trying to figure out why their boat keeps floating away with the current, all the while getting all upset becasue I am sitting back enjoying my "adult beverage" and not out their explaining how to properly anchor a boat in a current. Last year I actually had some lady yell at me becasue i "didn't get off my ass to help and watched them slam into my boat" I laughed, then got up an asked why she thought it was my responsibility to make sure they have a "stress free" day. Believe me I didn't enjoy them hitting my boat, but at the time it was my older Baja Force (onloy paid $6k for it) and I was fresh off back surgery and still in a brace. Which actually made the situation funnier, having someone yell at me becasue I didn't jump up out of my chair and back brace to jump in between their boat to stop it from hitting mine.
