I just read something about documentation either in the dec practical sailor or the jan/feb good old boat issues.. read both on my lunch break... one of the comments made was that the states will use a hailing port as "proof" that its a boat belonging to XXX state. My hailing port is Key West, and I am a lifelong Fla resident.. registration on my over 30 yrs old boat is $4/yr... my doc stamps or whatever you call it is $5... at that rate I am going to go broke fast... such hardship..
HAPPY NEW YRS TO ALL.. My lcd scream has been replaced and i am back online.. such are the joys of life..

When we believe that freedom offers the best chance of peace and prosperity for all, and our desire for peace cannot be seperated from our believe in liberty." Harry S. Truman Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
