Leave it right were it is for that is the best place for it. The Good

Wilbur Hubbard
Having recently read an ode to Wilbur's knowledge of boating I
decided to test it out. I spent an hour walking the docks and
discovered that not a single one of the more then 200 boats in the
marina, all of whom have sailed across the ocean to get here, have
hanked on head sails.
So.... either more then 200 proven sailors are wrong... or Non Sailing
Wilbur is. Take your pick.
Cheers,
Bruce
