We're just NORTH of the bridge.

I have no local knowledge of damages recent - but just happened to be
talking with one of the owners who was speaking of what they had done when
they built, and that other marinas hadn't.

During a long-ago hurricane, those marinas were very badly hit. So far as I
know, all are in operation again...

Thanks.

Hmmm. I wasn't even aware of a yard north of the bridge road.

Skip, urgently working to get out of this filthy, theft-ridden yard

PS the system is working. Wetting it has opened up new sources of WSM (as a
technical paper done for the USCG many years ago refers to water soluble
material) which have absorbed water, bringing it out to the surface where it
washes off readily. Grinding back until the laminations are secure in each
of those spots (confirmed by the absence of any more weep spots, even after
pressure washing) gives us a reasonable expectation that after a few more
cycles of that, and then doing a proper repair on the ground-out spots, our
pleasure should be enhanced the next time we're hauled, however many years
that is from now (our last bottom job lasted 4 years)...

"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."

. . . and new blisters still reared their ugly heads as they will again the
next time you haul out so you will spend every haulout doing repeated
blister repair. Not too bright, Skippy!!!

Get a clue and do it right. Dry the freaking hull out until a moisture meter
says it's dry and then coat it inside and out with a barrier coat. Or, what
you should REALLY do is unload that POS on some unsuspecting Rube and buy a
real ocean-going boat that is about twenty years old and has no blisters. If
it has gone that long without blisters chances are excellent it will never
get blisters.

Life is too short to abide junk, Skippy. If you were any kind of man you
wouldn't burden the woman you love with junk. You'd get her something
excellent as she deserves nothing less.

Check out the Bayfield 40 for example. She's a real beauty. Canadian-built
boats don't usually have blister problems. Why? Precisely because of the low
humidity situation when the hulls were laid up.

The most positive thing that can be said about this post is:

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us
worthy evidence of the fact.
