I recall at least one serious snowstorm in the DC area as late as mid-April. We've got a better slip at the marina now. Last year, we had a "temporary" slip because we didn't rent until very late in the season. I was wondering how the inside moisture is controlled under the shrink wrap? Is there a provision for some means of insulation? I'd think that condensation would build on the inside, somewhere. It's got vent "screens" and a flap that opens to allow entry. Thus, the inside air is very much like the outside air. There was a small puddle of what I presume was condensation on the deck. I mopped it up. I also removed all removable upholstery and other materials that might be impacted by condensation or provide a farmer's field for mold. |

I'd think that condensation would build on the inside, somewhere. In the early days of shrink wrapping a number of boats were ruined by mold and mildew because they forgot to allow for ventilation. It's really important to have dry bilges also. You get a lot of solar heating and light under the wrap however and it can be quite pleasant working on projects during the winter as long as the sun is out. |

How far away can April be, anyway? After looking over the poster names and header titles of the kazillion posts I "missed" while away, I decided the best approach would be to not read any of the posts, so I simply marked the newsgroup as "read." If that offends anyone, well, I'm glad! Do you really think anyone cares what you read here? |

If that offends anyone, well, I'm glad! Show us a picture of your boat. About everyone has seen islands before. I thought he sold it. I wonder if this is the new one that he somehow had shrink wrapped before delivery;. Or maybe it's not Harry. Could be a spoofer. It's Harry with his usual bull**** lies. |

If this is the real Harry we will see photos of the boat sitting on the Hard. As the shrink wrap is being removed. A photo of the hour meter before he launches the boat, and a photo of the hour meter when he returns to the dock. etc. Harry HAS to photo graph all aspects of his life, just to prove he has a life. Who else photograph a hole in the ground, then photo graphs the hole with concrete in it, then the post etc. Exactly! |

If that offends anyone, well, I'm glad! ========== Went out last weekend and will again this weekend. Nice weather down here. I do miss the opportunities we had when we lived in north Florida with a few really bright sunny and warm days in the doldrums of winter. I remember being out fishing one 70+ degree day in February, casting under some piers and catching nice-sized flounder. Is that how you met Fla Jim? I suppose it is possible, but it is unlikely. I did know quite a few retired Navy types - they were everywhere in the Jax area. I thought maybe he was the flounder you hooked under the pier. |
