Had an experience a few years ago..
Pulled into a slip in a marina, and after tying up the
boat, asked the guy on the boat next to me if he knew if the harbor-master was in on that day..
He offered his help and asked what I needed... I stated that I needed to square up with him on the
fees for the nights stay.............
To my surprise, he started laughing and said he could tell us Americans any-place he traveled around the world as We were the ones running up and down the docks with handfulls of
money wondering who to give it to..
And to a certain extent, he right..
speaking from myself, I have always wanted to be on the up & up and do the right thing, pay for what you get, have the proper papers, and conduct myself in a proper manner.......
And what I've found was that people dont expect it, and
government officials dont have time to regulate it.. There will always be the "Fly-BY-Night" or "Shade-Tree"
mechanic and for that matter, I've hired them myself..
No Body has ever asked me for a business licences, or even if I was
legal,
There are people out cruising and working, but its rare.. as most have a good savings or
income comming in and work for that extra amount to add to the kitty..
Our first time out, we didnt live off our work but supplemented our living with added work.. we'll be doing the same come this next spring....
