Up for the season??
The big wind season is just starting here. Anyone who calls himself a
sailor has been waiting for this.
The 'skipper' that I crewed with in years past called. He's all excited
about getting back into a 36 footer. yesterday he picked me up in his
new Mercedes 4 seater convertible to go look at a boat in a club across
the harbour. I tried to convince him to look at something a bit smaller
with a big cockpit because of his need to invite too many people along
to wine & dine on our sails. He's spending too much time stateside
selling clothing. It's always...'gotta go bigger' mentality where the
true Maritimer would scheme to get the most use/enjoyment out of the
least expense.

Harry,
Wasn't that you who said you were contemplating selling YoHo due to the high
cost of fuel? I am sure it is archived in Google.

I believe Herring said he had taken up golf, because he didn't want to pay
for gasoline for his boat. I thought that pretty funny, because when he
does go out, he rarely "boats" more than a few miles from the entrance of
the harbor he uses. Probably burns five gallons per trip.

Don't forget all the gas he guzzles with that yellow V8 Ford Mustang.
If he traded that for a Camray or Accord, he could boat to his hearts
delight.

Harry says he's got a 36'er. Have you ever been out in it?

Is Harry actually posting to me? Does he do this often? Is he ****ed when he
gets no response?

Tell him I'm sorry for him.

Harry,
Since JohnH has you filtered, why do you always respond to his posts.

So, your boat is up for the season. Figured as much.

I'll drive my car until it runs out of gas. Then, I will calmly walk away.

.............I guess I am not like the grasshopper (
http://tinyurl.com/ds5ss ).

Although I hate to discuss winterizing now I was wondering if anyone used
one of these ( http://tinyurl.com/d69nj ) to flush and winterize their
engine(s).

They retail for over $50. I was thinking of making my own (I already have
the hose and 5 gallon plastic tank). For an extra $5 in parts I am in
business.

I have always drained my engine(s) in the past then filled them with a
50/50 or so mix of antifreeze and water poured through the thermostat
housing.

Is this ( http://tinyurl.com/d69nj ) setup easier or any more reliable?
If so, how does it work?


I cannot believe how this on topic thread was immediately taken OT.

Anyway..........back to the original question:

Has anyone used this setup or is it just easier to drain the engine then
draw a 50/50 antifreeze/water mix via muffs from a 5 gallon pail?
