Got mine too. Funny, the Defender Catalog was sharing the mail box.

This list of just the "Wants" out of it add up to more than I have in the boat and truck combined.

$300 more? Shouldn't the value go down if there's less water there?

a - $300.00 is a lower tax rate. I just hope to have the 2an1/2 foot of water needed for the C-26. Or at lest 1an1/2 foot for my C-20 or Mac. 25.

Down here, they'd probably charge you more...by saying that as the water went down you had more land.. :roll:

Hey EE being that we are full time cruisers, otherthen food stores West Marine gets most of the money we spend. They are very convenint, and I have been in atleast 20 of thier stores which is normally a walk or bike ride from were we anchor.

I wish I could post pictures of the ICW channel at Jekyll Island Ga when the waters gone, you feel like your tring to sail in a road side ditch.

If you look at the google map of the area theres a C-26 at the dock of latitude 31 resturant. I do not think he can get out of his slip during lower tide times.

we saw a 40' sailboat on its side waiting for the tide to return in that area.
