Problem we have is not rising water but sinking city and Keith is right.not the proper venue.
Mark, Gratis (6115) NOLA BTW: had a wonderful weekend on board Gratis while helping run our Mardi Gras regatta. Given that our club house is over water and I was sleeping aboard, I was 100% "feet wet" from Fri, noon thru Sun 5 pm.

But seriously folks, there is so much information, politics, science, and opinion on both sides of this issue that I think this forum is not the appropriate place to discuss it.

NYC has a plan in effect for all divisions and support services to immediately plan for higher temperatures in the summer which would lead to overloads of electrical systems and heat induced illnesses, higher tides with flooding of services near the water's edge and more and more intense storms. Since many C27/C270 owners have their boats on the coasts, I'm thinking that in interesting topic for all would for those owners to share their perceptions of the effect of the forecast climate change on their marinas and sailing situations. For background, I have my boat and sail on Lake Erie. The predictions for Lake Erie are difficult since the changes depend greatly on what happens to the jet streams - which in themselves are variable. Comments?
