GL: alarmed at firearms comments

[Jim Ague]

30 months of live-aboard over 5 years traveling the Eastern Seaboard from 
Montreal to Florida, no guns, no dogs, no nightwatchman, no fears, no 
problems. And this included 2004 when we were flying a "No More War, Vote 
for Kerry-Edwards" banner.

When tied to town docks at night we would lock the door from the inside on 
the portside, generally the starboard door, just for peace of mind. And of 
course locking both doors when off the boat during the day.

The only strange thing that did happen was while tied up at the city docks 
in Savannah (a great stop BTW). When we returned to the boat in the 
afternoon, a family from India (or thereabouts) was sitting on the bow 
enjoying the view. A simple, polite shooing got them off. We never did 
understand why they felt OK about climbing aboard. Cultural?
