The Laid Back Boaters and Banderlog message boards aren't anywhere near as active as it is here on HB. The difference is most of the members of each are locals that can help a person out and there's always info on 1 or the other, usually both, when the outings are happening.
here's the links again-
Laid Back Boaters Message Board (http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/mb/cas)
Banderlog Discussion Forums (http://www.banderlog.com/phpBB2/index.php)
Well, let's get it active over there. We need more local input.
