[Rhodes22-list] Detail fail?

Wed Oct 20 18:40:48 EDT 2021

Tom:

I've sailed my 86, refurbished in 2010, in an algae and weed infested
freshwater lake for over a decade. Never a problem with the finish - the
yard washes her at both ends of the season.

I say sue the incompetent liar. With respect to swearing, I think  teaching
your child righteous anger in the real world is a good thing.

My 2 bitcoins worth.

Cheers,
Shawn
