    Does anyone have an interest in having a mooring/slip exchange
    for next summer?  It would be a great opportunity
    for the cruising sailors to spend weekends going one way, 
    rather than making the second day a mad dash home every weekend.
    
    As envisioned, we would set one note up.
    Entries would be expressly advertising a mooring/slip available
    for a period (keyword = AVAIL), or needed (keyword = WANT) for
    a period (a week would probably be a good period to keep it simple).
    All offers should be strictly on a loaner (versus
    rental) basis, to cover liability. Each offer should
    state:  1. maximum draft at mooring
            2. general sheltering
            3. Size of boat permanently on mooring.
            4. Dispacement of boat permanently moored
            5. Any restrictions for tying up (clubs, etc)
            6. Any restrictions for entrance/exit from facility
               (bridges, breakwaters, etc). 
            7. Date mooring will be available
            8. Name and dtn of contact  
            9. Location of mooring

|      A week is a long time. I would think weekends might be a better
    time frame to use.

|     Along this line, if anyone is planning a cruise to The Chesapeake,
    I have a slip in the mid bay area on the Piankatank River and one
    in Norfolk.  One is usually empty and both carry over 6feet at MLW.

|     .1 HAS A GOOD POINT..In general, if you are nterested in using the
    Notes file to exchange slips for general cruising, put when
    the slip/mooring will be available for whatever period, and
    people can respond to it.

| 1039.4 | Trade Mooring in Buzzards Bay? | 36392::BEAU | Thu Nov 09 1989 11:32 | 20 | |
|     It looks like I'll have a mooring available for exchange
    next summer in Padanaram (west end of Buzzrds Bay, near
    New Bedford.).  It's in a sheltered cove, in around
    6 feet of water, and accessible throughout the day (its
    behind a bridge, which is closed some hours).
    
    Concordia yachts is in the barbor, as well as the N. Bedford
    yacht club (for you clubbies). There are good and reasonable
    restaurants (alas, not both at once!)
    
    I'm looking for trades around Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod
    Bay, where we can trade for a week at a time (leave one
    weekend for the trade, then return the next weekend). 
    Alternatively, we can talk about overnights.
    
    This is an extra mooring, so if there is no interest I'll
    pull it for the summer.
