Thanks to all for the suggestions, especially Harry and the
plum (try
a sewing machine!).

Comments appreciated. I found a shop that'll do the job. Now
I'll let
it dry out a bit and take it in.

Again, thanks

I guess you don't know how to use one. You should learn.

I can see you have never tried to sew the middle of a large
canvas cover on
a home sewing machine.

You don't get out much, eh? Most covers for small boats aren't
made up from heavy cotton canvas, but from much lighter and
thinner poly fabrics. My wife sewed a small patch on my Parker's
poly cover with a plain old home sewing machine.

Of course, one has to have a competent wife. Perhaps you and
herring can seek our a neighbor's wife. No competent woman would
have anything to do with either of you.
Most small boat covers are still fairly heavy, and most home
sewing machines have a limited throat depth.
Harry's cover may have torn on the edge. If so, there wouldn't be
much
to shove into the throat of the sewing machine.
Of course, just being Harry would make the job much easier. One
wonders how he got his cover torn when he always shrink wraps his
boat.
If he was your best buddy, you would know. He didn't use the boat
this season, and it rained too much and a puddle developed in the
middle. He meant to go out and check on the boat, but someone had
to keep posting in rec.bolts, so it just got too heavy.
You tell 'em little buddy pal....
So when are you coming back to halifax/

I don't know, Don. As you know, I only drink the finest beers in the
world, and your son was constantly swilling that cheap stuff so fast,
I couldn't even get one of those. And your wife wouldn't give you and
I any "alone time". Also, Halifax isn't nearly cultured and
sophisticated enough for me.

And besides that my wife complained about the fish smell on my clothes.
I had to boil them in a bleach solution to get the stink out.

That was not fish smell, I have a bad yeast infection.
