It's a shame I had to change my membership name. Chat room stalkers have searched out and used the info on this site to post personal information to a public chat room.

Some people want to go to the beach more often but they find their finances are holding them back. In this economy, I can easily understand why people are skimping and scraping where they can. Even if you live in an area that is close to the beach, you may find there are still expenses related to going.

So I'm wondering if I need to keep my blogs here to boating topics. I mean, it's a boating site but it's MY blog, right? So shouldn't I be able to blog about whatever.

I'm getting some great ideas here for my blog at Boat Pinellas but it's getting late here so I will need to start my first "real" blog tomorrow. Yay!
