For me it doesn't matter much, they all know where I live anyway. My boat sits at the dock by my house, so everybody traveling the Champlain Canal knows where I live. But I still agree with Bob McLeran, there's no sense making it easy for the non-boaters who may have larcenous intent by putting address info on the cards.

It's easy enough for someone to get your home address via the internet with a little work, but at least it takes some extra effort. We give out boat cards to a lot of people we don't know who simply want to read our blog, see info about our boat, call us later, need a contact number (a store, a marina, etc.). Who knows where your boat card is going to end up? BTW, same holds true for putting a lot of personal information in your email signature! No reason to repeat your email address (it's already there), or to add your cell phone numbers, home addresses, etc. EVERYTHING on the internet is discoverable, including the content of everything in your posts to email lists, blogs, and forums!
