We're in a marina near the pizza nova. We've had the boat here for... 2 years? Lived on it for 1 1/2 or so. I'd love to get onto one of the moorings in the next year or two. Certainly would save some money.

Sun Harbor, cool. I was thinking of moving there but it's a bit pricey so I'm stuck in the south bay (don't want to talk about it). Also the bread sticks at Pizza Nova are a heart attack in a basket.

Zeehag I think I know the bridge of which you speak. I see your boat while jogging!

Pertaining to the thread, I've thrown sunglasses over 100 times and once, a complete stranger into the Charles River in Boston - tetanus soup!

If I ever bought a boat (and I woudn't) with an AC-only fridge in it that would most certainly go overboard. Something about that just gets my goat. Do you have the interwebs on your mooring? How does that work?

A Lobster Pot Full Of Lobster

Great stuff here...once when helping a cousin retrieve some lobster pots, 'after' the close of the Nova Scotia lobster season, we were saving some refugee bugs for collection after dark.[when the mounties couldn't see us] As we approached the pier but were still a quarter mile out, he gave the signal and I pushed the full pot of lobster overboard. But, we forgot to attach the bouy and it just sank into never never land!

Lost a very nice pair of binoculars overboard. Not to mention all of the things lost on the boat that could be overboard. I have a feeling that everything will turn up one day when I find the hidden locker that everything is falling into!

missing several things I didn't throw overboard.
Tape measure, razor knife,Electrical tape, tips for 4 and 1 screwdrivers, AMC pacer. Not sure where these have gone but I suspect given the quality, historic rate of disappearance and the confined size of my boat it is an alien plot.

Edgartown MA - the starter spring on the outboard when I tested it before putting the bolt back on. Spent the rest of the afternoon diving for it, but it was lost in the muck.
