Hi Susan

I don't think it's gotten to that extreme just yet... I think it may just be like others pointed out, that the bar owners may in fact not be aware of its condition. Most people aren't aware of their dinghy damage until they return to the dinghy dock, and then they get the heck out of there before anything else happens, so they probably don't go back in and alert anyone to the problem... even I'm guilty of that. I think we just need to give them the benefit of the doubt and mention it to them and see what happens. If they agree that something needs to be done but find that it will be difficult to do in a timely fashion for some reason... then I'm sure it wouldn't take many of us too long to get together and bring some hammers and saws and help things along... maybe even over beers! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
