[Rhodes22-list] PITA et al.

[Mary Lou Troy]

Joe,
I'm not sure what is going on there. We've never taken on that kind 
of water in a slip but there are other Rhodies who keep their boats 
on moorings without these issues. I hope some of them will comment 
and I hope you get the mess cleaned up without too much problem.

Best of luck,
Mary Lou
