Opening ports (was RE: [Rhodes22-list] New Guy Bill D.) - JimConnolly

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Philip,
I use a bin under the cockpit seats.  A hole in the bin bottom to drain water is advised.  To me a 10" high bin with lid would be perfect, although am still searching Wal-Marts for the perfect container.  They are either too small, skinny, or shallow.  Like Bill, I prefer dropping an anchor off the stern.

>>     Welcome to the Rhodes List.
>>
>>     When you see the name Bill you have to look to see if it is Bill E or
>>Bill W or Bill D.  Do not be offened by the diatribe of the left wingers on
>>this list.  Just say, the list is working.
>>
>>     It is safe to disregard Philip's statement about opening ports just
>>because of a few drops of water.  Just ask Stan to make you snap on covers.
>>The covers will keep out most of the rain.  What is left is insignificant
>or
>>can be simply wiped with a towel before you open them.  And keep in mind
>>that Philip is still a rookie.
>>
>>      Again, welcome to the center of all knowledge, boat and otherwise.
>>We have several resident gurus on alcolhic beverages and songs to go with
>>them.
