Hi Guys and Gals, I'm a fisher woman ..... I love the sport of fishing ....My last catch was a 19lb, 21 in bass from Lake Saltenstall in East Haven, Ct. I've been fishing since I was a little girl in Brooklyn, New York and my Dad would take me out fishing once in awhile..... Have a great day Rose

I love to fish, so I go out on fishing boats a lot. I used to sail a small lake boat in Newport Harbor in California. I mostly just fish now for tuna when it comes in. There is nothing that beats being out on the water.

Hi, my name is Adam and my favorite body of water is cruising theIntercoastal from New Jersey to Florida. I had a 26' Bayliner Cierra last year of 2003, and made the trip for my first time. Since last year I purchased a 30' Bayliner Cierra, and never driven it yet because I don;t know how to drive a twin screw. I have been desperately trying to find a web site such as this to \share ideas with other power boaters and learn things about power boating and possibly finding other boaters that may want to make the trip from New Jersey to florida. I am planning that trip to leave nj sometime either the last week in october or the first week in November. would love to have some imput if possible. thanks. Adam

I'm an avid, avid, avid boater, who has taken it from "Hobby-To-Job," in one, sneaky motion ... I run a magazine and a Website WWW.Boating-Highways.com out of my home State of Massachusetts.

Our position is: "Why Look, From The Road, When You Can Look, From The Water!?" In other words, tour by boat! Look at things, from a slightly different angle. If you look at the site, you'll see what I mean ...

I have two boats: A 23-foot Chris-Craft Scorpion, with a 325hp Mercruiser and EVERYTHING else ... and ... a 26' Tanzer SloBoat. I just, plain, LOVE boating.

Hey, My wife, 2 little girls and I live on Lake Hartwell in Anderson, SC. We have a 26' pontoon and love to cruise around the lake as often as possible. We sell nautical gifts online at topshelfgifts.com and we found the club by searching for a nautical ezine to place on our site.

Live on Lake Hickory in Olivers Landing. Am a 42 y/o male. Started fishing on Lake Hickory at the age of 8. Have been a boat owner since 1986, and PWC owner since 1999. My boat is a 17' Galstron open-bow run-about. My PWC is a 1995 Sea-Doo XP. Water & boating is my one true passion. I am on Lake Hickory 3 to 5 times a week from April to October...and I HATE winter!!!! ;-)

Favorite spot in the world, from what I have thus far seen, is Kingston Ontario in the summer. Dock at the Flora McDonald Confederation Basin and begin to enjoy the beauty of the old City. You will find yourself directly in front of the old Limestone City Hall, with a small park in front of it. In the park you will often find different bands and entertainment thru out the summer. And if you happen to be there during the Buskers Rendevous, bring plenty of tip money and get ready to enjoy a bounty of Vaudeville type acts, tricks, magic and juggleing. Or cruise off to Potter's Bay where the clear, but cold St Lawrence river is so reminiscient of the Carribbean. Make your favorite beverage and walk the beach talking to other boaters, numbering in the hundreds. Or simply enjoy the sun and beauty of the 1000 Islands area. Can't say enough about it. It is simply one of the most gorgeous areas that God has graced us with and I thank him for letting me enjoy it t! hese last 30 years. A worthwhile trip from anywhere. Found the site searching Google for a boat membership site. Garnering ideas for a new site to create myself.

Hi, my name is Evonne. I have a Maxum 2100 SC I love it! I've had it about two and a half years now. I had alot to learn about boating. I learn every time I go out. But, I don't get to go out enough! I would like to find friends to go boating with me. I am strong in the way of handling my boat, loading, unloading it. My weaknesses are navigation, and line handling. I usually put in at Baypines, in the Tyrone area. I go travel the intercoastal to Johns Pass, then go out into the Gulf. My favorite activity is to explore areas I haven't been too, but I also love to just drop the anchor, and chill for hours. I also love spending the night out on the water, but haven't had a chance to do that in quite awhile. I try to take the boat out every other weekend, and would love to meet new people that would would enjoy going with me. I found this website by searching under boating clubs.

I currently spend most of my time boating on the Hudson River and would like to find other younger boaters in the area. We spend much of our time up in Lake George as well...

Favorite body of water? Too many to list. Most people's favorite body of water is the only on they know, the one that is closet to where they keep the boat. Our boat has been so many places that we can't pick just one. Current Boat Location; Gulf Of Mexico, Caloosahatchee River. Ft Myers, FL. We are long distance boaters. We live in Delaware and boat in Florida at this time. Our boat is a diesel powered 1989 34 Silverton convertible. It's one of the first ones that they made that featured the contemporary look. We have done a lot of boating all over the east coast from Massachusetts to Dry Tortugas, The Bahamas and up the west coast of Florida---all in this same boat. It is equipped for extended cruising. I used to get emails from you all the time, but I think when you changed your website address, I must have gotten dropped.

My fbw is the atlantic ocean (of course!!). I grew up on the east coast of Florida & there's no better place on earth. Hawaii is a close second. I've been on the west coast for 23 years now & although I love the Pacific & the Pacific Northwest (I'm in Portland,Oregon), it's not the same as the intracoastals & swamps of Florida of my youth.
