Pipe down, you...

I'm looking for a source of fiberglass exhaust pipe. I only need a few
inches of 1.5" pipe, and am in Saint Simons Island, GA for a few weeks.

Any sources to recommend?



I have been keeping track of your postings and I have discovered that you missed your calling. You post 10 to 1 with questions and concerns about anything and everything other than sails and their support equipment. This tells me you STILL have your priorities all wrong. It is not the extraneous systems that get you to your destination in a sailboat. Rather, it is the sails and support equipment that do the job. Perhaps if you would not motor around so often you might come to realize this obvious sailing reality.

Heh...

I didn't need any help finding Mack Sails to do the repairs needed after our
crossing, the post of which hasn't been made yet. Yes, we have a SailSewer,
but Lydia was more concerned with seeing Harrison than sewing, so we sent it
off. We'll do the minor miscellaneous sewing (non-sails) along the way
before we head out again to your favorite place, the Bahamas, later this
summer.

And, FWIW, the last year has put a grand total of a little under 100 hours
on our engine, much more in line with what I'd expected before all the ICW
junk happened. I'll have to/want to change oil more on a calendar basis
than hours, at this rate.

OTOH, if you looked at my spot page, you saw that I made a mad dash up to,
and a week later, back from, the other end of GA. I'll be going back there
to see *MY* kids, and then down to Pensacola, to see her son in the AF at
Hurlburt, before we head back to the boat.

Not my preference, but her kids have 3" SS hawsers, not apron strings, and
they pull pretty hard. Bringing her mother back for the airplane jived
nicely with the operation, and she's making the most of it (prolly 2 months
or more)...

I'm doing miscellaneous small chores and helping two of my angels (the ones
providing car and slip, respectively) on *their* boats before I go back.
Payback/pay forward, either way, we're very grateful to them, and good
friends as well :{))

Still don't own a house, but Lydia's about to buy her kid one, since kids'
(hers and spouse) credit sucks so badly. I presume that will give us
permanent squatting rights any time we wash ashore :{))

And, FWIW, too, we're very pleased with our sails, and use them a lot.
Fortunately, neither they nor support equipment has needed much attention,
other than the aforementioned excitement of which I have yet to post (you'll
just have to wait!).

So, you gonna chase us around the Abacos and the like to prove how fast your
little boat is, or cruise with us?

Hey, Skip. Ya know, you're really too smart a fella to go around using a
non-word like "prolly" in every post. ;-)

:{)) Smart has nothing to do with it. Lazy/efficient (that's how Franklin
did most of his inventions - found a way to be lazy)...

But you got the point, I'd bet :{))
