[Rhodes22-list] Is Royal Blue Awl Grip.....now pic

Yes I had in mind doing such a thing.  I did a pretty good job with my son
on his boat over in Greece.  I did learn that keeping the components
someplace cold was critical on a hot Greek summers morning.  I also learned
that all the boaters in the marina complained that their dairy products
tasted very strange if they were stored in the comunity 'fridge.  Oops.
