The yard had called and told me after they hauled her that they could
not even identify my prop so I asked them to take it off and send it
to me.
My prop is a PerfectPitch plastic one which is a massive plastic
casting, very lightweight and I really like it and I was afraid it had
been ruined. When it arrived, I could barely recognize it because it
looked melted. It was a mass of greyish melted plastic. I started
peeling off some of the melted crap. Whoa, there is a prop under all
that crap. Bit by bit, I removed all the melted plastic to find my
Plastic Perfectpitch prop in perfect condition underneath. Somehow,
the crab trap line had melted and then fused to the prop WHILE IN THE
WATER. No idea how this happed.
So, clean prop, new prop strut and new bottom paint (did you know
Trinidad is now $250/gallon) so I am ready to cruise past Cape Coral
and thru Lake Okechobee and to Stuart.
Wayne, I appreciate your offer for your dock but problems prevented me
from taking you up on it.
So, I f you happen to see the old 28' sailboat with the bizarro
hideous yellow nesting dinghy on the bow, it'll be me.


At what point during your voyage will your boat sink?

I'd love to see Frogwatch dock his wrecked boat at Wayne's house in that
La-De-Da neighbourhood and start his ship repairs.
I'm sure the locals would freak-out worse than our own Freak when he's near
a staircase at the local cop shop..

Imagine the rats running down the lines off Froggy's boat, joyfully
happy to be escaping that hulk with their little lives still intact,
having avoided both becoming ratburgers between slices of the captain's
week-old bread and drowning.
