Last week I took my boat up to the yard to get hauled. In the slip next to the one I left my boat in overnight was a small boat, about 24' (Dolphin I
think). Tied to her mast with a black neck tie was a rubber mask, one of those ghoulish, graying wrinkled things; does anyone know if there is some
significance to this? To ward of evil boat spirits?

Cheers

It may be the shrunken head of a former crew who lost too many winch
handles overboard...

I don't think so, it was there the previous month when I was there arranging for the haul out, is rudeness a congenital defect for you or are you
suffering from some malaise leading to chronic irascibility?

Don't know about Canucks, but I don't, I'm not a pagan.

New boat's too big.

I think the necktie probably has more significance than the mask....

You're probably correct, you think the owner is a Hitchcock fan?
