After the last storm I have decided that I need to invest in Fowlies.
What do you guys recommend?

If you operate in waters colder than 65 F you need to wear a thermal
work suit/coveral
Its the one the uscg and most OR/WA water cops use.

They retail from $280 to 500+ I saw one in Englund Marine Suppy
(oregon) for $330 last week. I love mine and reqiure any passanger
onboard my boat wear one while underway on deck. The last 5 months Iv
sailed near coast Oregon. Water temp ~52F to 55F year round.... unless
the tuna current comes in close and then it ~60F to 65F But thats rare
inside 100 miles.

They are NOT the solid neoprene "survival or immersion" suits. They
are designed as a TYPE V coverall work suit. They are like slippin
into a warm apple pie if you catch my drift.

I wore mine once at the dock in Fourchon when it was 36F and every
coonass was huddling inside complaining they wernt gonna go out side
cause it was so Fn cold. I slipped on my Sterns worksuit and put in a
comfrotable 8 hour deck watch.

We don't have 'fowl' weather around here. Sometimes, however, we do have
foul weather.

The chickens do come home to roost, don't they?




Seagulls in my case. Drat them and their poop.

We have no problem with bird poop any more.

I strung half a dozen or so CDs on a cord and hang it in a clear spot
on deck. During the summer, we run a string up on a halyard.

The boats on either side get pooped.
But they don't bother Temptress any more...

We use fake snakes on th deck. Works very well.




I have certain standards of decorum aboard my fine, blue water yacht.
Hanging gaudy CDs that swirl and flash in the rigging in the wind is
anathema to them. Fake rubber snakes on deck might be acceptable but I
surmise they aren't as effective as my living and stalking black cat but
there's always the random, fly-by poop that usually splats on my
photovoltaics thus reducing their output and necessitating I clean them up
regularly.

Your choice, of course.
I'd rather not have the birds dumping filth on my boat.
But that's just me...
