REPLY Precisely. I have belonged to the Power Squadrons since 1970. Not only have the average size of member's boats decreased markedly in recent years but the number of established members who no longer own a boat because of the expense has increased. They are still interested and stll volunteer their time but they can no longer afford to come out and play. They are lucky if they can wrangle an invite for a day trip with friends.
