| AVYC Member: Ken Read about the club in an article in Boating magazine and checked out the site. Thought it was a nice light hearted site so I Figured I'd join. I am located in New Jersey and have a 30' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge. Most of my boating is done in Barnegat Bay with some occasional trips out to the great Atlantic Ocean. Although I've been involved in boating my whole life, only the last couple of years have I really gotten obsessed with it. Go to all the boats shows, skip work to go boating, and play around on the computer finding web sites like this. I've also found that owning a boat is a great way to get rid of all that hard earned money pretty fast. Anyway, keep up the good work on the site and I look forward to seeing this world famous newsletter! / Posted - Wednesday, February 28, 2001 ___________________________________________________________ Thank Ken you have our site figured out; that's great! I sometimes wonder if we make it clear enough. We are definitely on the lighter side of boating. Thanks for joining! Jim |

We, trailer our boat, along with our constant boating companions, Kathy and David ,also owners of a SR 270, to various freshwater lakes,and to marinas along the ICW. Our favorite body of water, without doubt is the clear warm water around the Florida keys. Sunrise at Faro Blanco marina on Marathon Key is one of the most memorable sights, I have ever seen.

Frog Found your web site last year and couldn't resist joining. Finally getting around to this survey. I am the owner of a 25' Hunter Legend. I travel (Business) the world extensively and the "Miss You Knot" is my way of relieving stress when returning from a long project. It seems that no matter where you go, there are people that love sailing. I am now preparing for a two month project in the Los Angeles area. Thank Neptune that the company we are working for has two full time "Sailors" and have already offered use of their boats on the weekend. My f.b.w. is anywhere there is 4 feet of draft and a stiff wind. / Posted- Tuesday, February 6, 2001 _________________________________________________________ Hey, Captain Frog it's great hearing from you and I'm glad you got around to sharing with our other members.

| AVYC Member Todd First of all, I was recently voted as the Commodore of Seaway Boat Club in Peoria, IL for the 2001 boating season. My wife, Kelli, and I own a 1996 30' Bayliner, named Mack Daddy (After the birth of our first child-Mackenzie Rae or nautically---Macken-Sea-Ray--). Our other boat is a 16' 1973 Starcraft American named HARLO, which we use as a shuttle, harbor patrol, beaching craft, and the such. We boat primarily the Illinois River, from Peoria to Starved Rock. I've been boating since 1974 in the Peoria area, and look forward to more trips as we continue our two-foot-itis in boat purchases. Our primary activity is boating and rafting out with friends/families all over Central Illinois. As Commodore, our primary focus is involving our boat club with other boat club activities, likewise, interesting other boat clubs with ours. We, as a club, focus on comraderie and safe boating. This all ties into your website, which I found using a search engine for Nautical Humor, to incorporate into our monthly newsletters. I am looking forward to your newsletters. Thank you for your website, and we look forward to a lasting relationship.. From our Port to Yours, Mack Daddy |

Our boats name is The Lazy "J" - if you see us on the water give us a hollar on channel 16. / Posted Tuesday, January 16, 2001 |
