Ha, that Helicopter shot is awesome. OK, I've posted this before, but I think it's the best picture of my boat. As an aside, galleries are clunky and I don't think you can add text which is why I vote for a picture thread for the forum.

Sure it could - you just have to be creative. Look at what DavyJ does! Clearly you just weren't meant to be a sailor. (ducks and runs)
Yep and at what I'm guessing Gas this summer on the water will be $5 a gal. if not more sooo its going to hurt to turn the key! Kaching, Kaching, Kaching.....
Stinkpotter, I have a question regarding the Mystic River. I was stationed at Subbase New London (aka 'Rotten Groten")in the late 70's and have always loved the area. I try to get up there as often as possible, usually staying at the Whaler's Inn. Last year we took a harbor tour and I noticed a definite lack of jetskis and waverunners. Down here in S. Jersey they are everywhere. Do you have some sort of zoning up there that keep them out of the river?

I see plenty of them inside Sandy Point off Stonington (Little Narragansett Bay)--flat water with lots of room.
Here's a beautiful vintage photo from the mid-80s. I scanned it from the original color brochure for a 1985 Catalina 25. This model probably came with the blonde on brown checked cabin cushions!
