Why not????? If is your boat, you do what you want and let the crew clean it
up. I was on that end of the stick as a teenager. Yes Larry, I was once. Leanne "Larry" wrote in message ... "Steve Lusardi" wrote in : Subject: The most extraordinary yacht of all time From: "Steve Lusardi" Newsgroups: rec.boats.cruising I was very fortunate to visit the Perini Navi facility in Viareggio last July. While there for a week helping to install new bridge electronics on another SY (SY Galaxia), I wandered through the yard and saw the solutions they used for the most common problems in construction. It was VERY, VERY enlightening. I learned a bunch. Imagine that there are no visible fasteners anywhere on these boats. Everything is hidden. Imagine looking down the side of the hull, which is finished like a Bently and seeing not a wrinkle or blemish anywhere. Perini has a paint hall dedicated to just masts and spars 100 meters long. In there they suspend these enormous spars from the roof for painting. These boats have a state of finish inside and out that most people could not imagine and will never, in there entire life, ever see. Steve Gist don't seem right draggin' a stringer full of red snappers through there to clean 'em in the galley, does it?....(c; Larry -- Who dies if one of the drunks spills her Merlot? |

I was too.....once.....a long time ago.....early 60's. It was a helluva ride! I was a rich kid. I made $1.20/hr as a clerk at Hawley's Rexall Drug Store. I even sold women's cosmetics and jerked at a real soda fountain. I started shoveling snow off the sidewalks when I was 12. Moved inside when I was 14, unofficially...(c; http://www.drugdelivery.ca/yy-US-36-...contactus.aspx Richard Hawley died a couple of years ago in his 80's. Looks like the store, which has been in Moravia for about 200+ years, is still there! Larry -- http://www.spp.gov/ The end of the USA and its Constitution....RIP |
