I also questioned whether a 311' AVP was enough boat for the North
Atlantic. We had blue water coming over the 02 deck and the screws
were coming out of the water on every wave for days at a time. "

My dad told me about stuff like that while on a troop transport during WWII

Same here. My dad was in the CB's in WWII. He told stories about a couple of bad storms and taking on water. Also chipping ice off the deck up in Alaska.

I used to have his foul weather jacket. Heavy canvas-like outer shell with an itchy wool liner. It had to be COLD to wear that thing. Not many chances in SC.

I just lost my old foul weather jacket. The zipper finally went out
after 50 years and it wasn't a virgin when I got it (maybe WWII).
That was my go to coat when it was nasty out.

Should have taken it to a Korean dry cleaners. They can put new zippers in for about $20 or so.
