You have never tried to find kerosene in SoCal.

Yes, and while jet fuel may start out as kerosene, it has additives
that when burned, give me a headache. Stuff to kill microorganisms,
retard icing, stuff like that. Don't even think about it.

Actually I have. I used to live in Long Beach, and spent four years living
aboard in Wilmington. I bought kerosene regularly at Home Depot, and other
places, to use in our cabin lamps.

Since you once lived here, SCAQMD has meaning to you.

They have insured that today, kerosene is a distant memery, even in
Wilmington.

But then the city is putting the squeeze on liveaboards, especially in
Wilmington.

Figures. California's "government" had a lot to do with our decision to
leave. Guess they won't be satisfied until the "air" is as pure as when God
made it, eh?

Actually, you may be able to buy a gallon of Kero at Home Depot, if
you are willing to pay about $15/gal for it.

Any of the VOC solvents are in that price range.

As far as the docks are concerned, the mayor wants move port
development for handling container ships, so the squeeze is on.

No more working on you boats, no more derelict boats, etc, etc.

Where are you these days?

About 30 miles from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Sailing season is dreadfully
short, winters abominably long, but other than that it's perfect. :-D

No, I sail out of Marinette. Lots of great anchorages in the Bay called
Green.
