[Rhodes22-list] Organic deck deposits

[Alan Robertson]

Can't do much with the foredeck, except Comet Cleanser. You could try a double side by side band of wax paper on the cockpit deck held down with gear you stow under the seats. We've seen a 20  gallon plastic bag split down the side and spread out for cabin top coverage used ; secured with clear HD clear plastic package tape which doesn't leave a sticky residue mark on the gel coat when pulled off.
Is your problem with sea gulls and terns? The only one we have up north is from flocks of migrating Canadian geese flying low when seeking a safe place to overnight.
Good Luck!

  I find junk mail CDs hung from the shrouds work pretty well.  Also, string
  filament line above your spreaders and wind vane mount.
