[Rhodes22-list] Sailing - Highly Technical Question

[brad haslett]

Rummy,

Actually, it needs pumped out anyway.  On warm days it
is starting to smell like the bar I stop at on the way
home from the lake.  I've been adding a quart of "blue
stuff" from WalMart about once a month but after last
Spring's cruise with 5 college seniors it has about
met the limit of better living through chemistry.

We seldom get several sub 32 degree days here but
about once a year we get an ice-storm and about every
5 years it knocks power out in parts of the state. 
December is pretty booked for me but I plan to do some
January sailing on the 40 degree plus days, which
there should be many.

My best friend of thirty years started driving down
from Southern Illinois and spending weekends on the
boat.  He liked the area so much we started looking
for real-estate together.  Last week we bought a 1900
square foot commercial shop building on 2 acres about
five minutes from the boat.  He may build an apartment
in it or just put a mobile home on the property. 
Either way, next season we should have a place to stay
for extended periods.  Since we have plenty of room
for work and storage we will probably start shopping
for a project boat.  I'd like to find an old run-about
with a small block V-8 that we can rebuild. Let me
know if you run across anything that looks
interesting.
