Sigh, thanks, but I called them and they only rent to members. Looks like we are stuck with going on a duck boat tour as our only way of getting on New England waters :-( If any of you New Englanders ever come to Seattle in the winter, spring, summer or fall, look us up and we will show you how REAL sailors do it.
Here you go Rick

Open April 1st maybe I'll see you out there.
Hello Rick, Before we slight the sailing tenacity of our brethren in Boston we have to give pause for comparison. I have lived on both coasts and in the northern Midwest and let me assure you our Pacific Northwest winters are nothing compared to one of theirs. When was the last time you had to wear a goose-down filled parka to work? Have you ever had to plug in your car at night to make sure it would start in the morning? Have you ever had to wait until the middle of May to think about applying a new coat of bottom paint or varnish? Instead of chiding them, let's pity them for having such a short sailing season. Besides, they did give us the Red Sox who beat the Yankees..Oh Yeah! Ian seaweeble@hotmail.com

Ian, I have to agree. I grew up in Newburyport, 30 miles north of Boston. My dad was a commercial fisherman. New England has REAL winters. Nothing like the mild weather and largely protected waters of Puget Sound.
