Being “price-sensitive” on the waterway

We have always searched for the right word to describe our Yankee frugality. It took folks from Laramie, Wyoming to coin the term we like best...price-sensitive! When it’s time to call it a day, there are only so many choices of what to do with your boat. You can reserve a slip in a marina ($$), you can ask to be assigned a mooring ball in the water in front of the marina, if available ($) or you can drop an anchor in a protected cove with water deep enough to be still afloat at low tide (0). Unless we need goods or services, we find ourselves “dropping the hook”. Sometimes we lower the dingy and go exploring; sometimes we sit tight and enjoy the scenery from our back porch (aft deck). Often we discover like-minded souls anchored near us and visit back and forth. As another good friend says, “It’s all good, ya’ll.”
