However, as I'm thinking about the pickup and straight-checking reality (I
don't have a truck nor the van I used to haul my shaft before), I realize
that the prop shop which does pickup/delivery from Stuart to Ft. Pierce
may ALSO be in the biz of fixing pits.

Turns out they can't do any better than I can; the rudder's out and I'm in
the process of moving it to a stable position so I can work on it. I'll get
out all the prior epoxy possible, and in the process thoroughly roughen any
I can't, in prep for applying (confirmed by the prop shop as the best
solution) the Devcon Plastic Steel Epoxy. Pix to follow.

Now to get out the cutlass and the dripless, still attached to the stern
tube..

Out without an argument; I expect an argument from the cutlass :{))

Skip and crew, sneaking up on the right time to apply our barrier coat, the
beginning of the end for our time in the yard!!

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.

Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
