[Rhodes22-list] Winter cover Re: Last sail?

[R Orkin]

I have shrink wrapped with no sign of damage but it is  expensive.
I tried a reinforced tarp once but the wind down here did it in quickly.. 
Seems like I can get it wrapped about 3 times though  b4 it costs as much as
a tarp that I think would hold up.
