[Rhodes22-list] Front Ports

[Cover-Man]

Joe,

They help some, but still expect some water.  No problem of dumping into the cabin if you just expect water, and just use an absorbent swab to soak it up before opening.  Also suggested is some Vaseline or similar product to help keep the gasket sealing effective while they are closed.

Have a nice day!

Not as happy as well crafted beer or any quality sex (and of course, the list is much longer) but happy is happy.  And, that is a commodity we can't just disregard because it seems insignificant. It's like sailing in crappy wind; you're sailing, dammit, so shut up and enjoy!
