Boating Is Alive and Well

During the potluck yesterday, Sherry had us all go around and introduce ourselves, tell what type of boat we are on, where we are from and if we are newbies to Brunswick Landing Marina or repeat offenders.  It was very kewl to learn that 3 different boats are not only new but really, really new as in just purchased in the last 2 weeks.  These people were definitely on Santa's GOOD LIST.   But all joking aside, it is nice to know that boaters and the boating dream is still alive.  And judging from the newbies....they are all different ages, backgrounds, incomes and experience levels.  Sherry mentioned in her holiday thank you speech "We don't judge you by your boat but the type of people you are.  However, we do wonder how the hell you get the $$ for some of the fabulous boats you have."  That got a HUGE laugh. 
Marina capacity is 310 slips (I think).  They were at 87% occupancy this fall for hurricane season.  There are substantially fewer here now.  Everyone has headed south.  Approximately 45 showed up for the potluck.  This really is a kewl place and a terrific hurricane hole.  Sherry and the staff MAKE Brunswick Landing Marina!  Thanks to them!! 
*I say Boaters because not everyone is on a sailboat.  Some are on motorboats.
