FROM THE BILGE

With Spring on the horizon, I thought I’d share with you what I see ahead in the coming boating year. With an improved economy and the ability to get on the water and enjoy the Bay, in many ways, recreational boating has never been so accessible. Yes, berthing on the Bay has become a bit more difficult to find, reflecting increased demand, but there are still many smaller berths that remain vacant. The number of old boats that had gone ignored because of the recession have become fewer and new boats are slowly taking their place. Read more

KNEWSLETTER CHALLENGE!

CHALLENGE:

In the 1987 movie "Back to the Beach" the actor who portrayed the bartender also played a well-known character from a long-running sitcom. In his cameo appearance he said:

"You know, I lived with a guy for years. A real genius. He could take a couple of these pineapples or a couple of coconuts with some string and wire and make a nuclear reactor. But he couldn't fix a two-foot hole in a boat!"

Who was the character, and for a bonus, what was the name of the boat that he was referring to?
