"Harbor" or "Marina?"

[rondds]

What do you call it?

 

[papogator24]

I call it Marina

 

[RollerCoastr]

Isn't a harbor a protective basin, natural or otherwise, in which marinas are built?

 

[SR400DB]

This is a harbor we visit on the West Coast

if there are slips/facilities it is a marina to me.

 

[papogator24]

Do you notice on the bottom picture on the lower right hand side that the white sailboat is about to collide with another sailboat?

 

[SR400DB]

That photo is from the webcam over the harbor taken at 1500 pst on 1/22/09. I can only hope they collide and sink and there are fewer of them in the world.

They dug out a harbor to build our marina, and we have a "harbormaster" who in charged with maintaining the marina.

We have marinas that connect our harbor. The harbor is the port where the ships call and the marinas are where we keep our pleasure boats.

He is heading up into the wind so he can fall off and pick up his mooring as he drifts down on the can.

My marina is called Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor but I still call it a marina.

Never been on a blow boat in my life, but that's exactly what i made of it.

James, Ron just started this in the hopes he could get you to post something. :grin: and I agree... "Marina"

 

[Sublimetime]

I dock my boat at "Lanoka Harbor Marina" located in--(mailing address) Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey

 

[SR400DB]

He is heading up into the wind so he can fall off and pick up his mooring as he drifts down on the can.

With the surge and swell that is prevelant this time of year, he is not drifting down on the can. Avalon has much different cans and lines than most places. He is more than likely moored with the lines on the wrong cleats, we use bow and stern lines. The boat looked similar at 1615 when I checked again. But good try for a Tiara owner. My can is nearest the end of the pier that you can see in the distance. My dad was born on the island, I have more than 200 crossings to the island by private boat (from 16 feet to 68 feet).

Marina for me, but I notice that some mid-westerners call it a "harbor." Just taking a roll call here.

Pop or soda?
Pants or trousers?
Down the ocean or Down the shore?
Sauce or Gravy? (for you Italians out there)
Chop Meat or Ground Beef?
Cold Cuts or Lunch Meat?

Done a lot of blow boating. It's better than many stink potters will admit.
