I'll keep that in mind when I motor out in my Mac 26X/M for a blue
water cruise - if I get one, of course.

For years I never bought a fender; I could always find one that had
fallen off a powerboat.

Maybe cause some coronaries among the "sailors" sitting in their slips
polishing brightwork and refinishing teak.

Do you really know any such people? Most of the obsessive cleaners I
know are powerboaters. Or they're liveaboards who devote a few days a
year to varnishing.
