| Our Privacy Policy | We encourage our visitors to tell the club a little about themselves, their boat, favorite body of water (f.b.w.) and their favorite water activity (It's completely optional). About 60% of our members opt to fill in the form and tell us about their love of the water.  To respond to or add a comment to this page CLICK HERE |
| AVYC Member: Holly Currently my favorite bodies of water are those I am most familiar with, Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound. I grew up on these waters and six years ago fulfilled a dream of owning a "tug boat". "Little Toot" is a 1981 26' harbor tug -- a launch hull really, custom build by Crosby Boat Yards in Osterville -- we replaced the ailing 50 horse perkins with a 50 hp yanmar - diesel last year and Little Toot, with her displacement hull still only plugs along at about 6 - 7 knots. When my husband and I and our two 8 year old sibling portuguese water dogs, Basil and Pepper are on the water we are never so at peace. We hope, eventually, once the kids are all launched (two now in college, 2 in high school) to acquire a liveaboard sailboat and add some new favorite bodies of water by exploring further afar. Ran into "our" website as was looking for a simple 8 x 10 calendar for my mother for 2006 to replace a free one she received from her insurance company for many years. ! As of this year the company is no longer providing them. So, I will be mailing in my honor donation and look forward to reading others' tales of their love of the water. Be well and best in the new year. Saturday, December 31, 2005 at 05:24:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Dear Sirs and Friends on the Water: I was a member of the USPS for 25 years, advanced to JN and taught the public boating course for 20 of those years. I think, live and breathe the water and the ocean. I had a 20 foot Sportcraft which I kept at Surfside Marina near Freeport, TX. It took me 65 miles offshore for Kingfish quite regularly. Circmstances change, and I no longer have a boat but a smaller center console rig for Spec fishing in the bay is now a thought of mine. Contact me anytime by any means. As a twice retired English teacher of college-bound Seniors. I have a web site hoping for occasional tutoring jobs. Please visit: www.ReedRobinson.com Thank you for your calendars and especially for sharing your love of the water, Reed Robinson |

| AVYC Member: Dave Seneca lake is my favorite for pleasure cruising. I own an 1987 30'sundancer that I call "King David". King David has an 11' beam and twin 260hp mercs w/alpha ones. I'm very happy with this boat, my first Searay. We live in Lockport NY and mostly cruise the Erie Canal, Niagara River and Lake Erie. My last boat, a 28' Bayliner flybridge had lots of trouble with the Niagara River in that it was underpowered with only 276hp . King David has plenty of power and is a dream to dock. I found this club via Google search. Thanks Sea Ya Saturday, November 19, 2005 at 17:28:55 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| AVYC Member: Dave I recently bought a 16' sailboat and have been getting it ready to sail. In the past, I've had some motor boat experience, but I always liked sailboats. I've always liked the water, being on it, playing in it, etc. I don't know if I have a favorite body of water, but the Atlantic in the Bahamas sure was nice. You could see clear to the bottom. I also enjoy the Hatteras area of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It's still not overrun with tourist and tourist businesses. I found this web site by looking for a 2006 calendar for an event at work next March. I have two kids and hope to use the boat to help teach them about working together as a team and depending on each other. Wednesday, July 27, 2005 at 12:49:16 |

| AVYC Member: Brenda Love your site!! Can't believe I did not find it sooner. Found it on a google search for "Bring Out Another Thousand." Because we too like to look at the lighter side of boating, we recently opened an online store that is about just that... bringing out another thousand. Check it out at www.AnotherThou.com and tell us what you think! We always say that being on the water sets us free. We are in SW Florida and love Gulf Coast boating. We recently moved here from Minnesota so that we could boat year 'round. In MN we had a '47 Bluewater, and it was the haul-out and shrink-wrap each year that pusehd us over the edge. "The season is over already?" we'd say. Now, we cruise the coastline in our '31 Tiara and never worry about the season ending (except for the occassional hurricane, of course). Bye for now... and happy cruising!! --Brenda |
