Should have hailed! It could have been my son, Chris, Jr. He's been making the run to Pensacola and Mobile lately. He grew up sailing on my 35, but prefers his Laser 28 now.

Some clouds. Brought Touche' back from Pensacola last week. A bit chilly for me. High 40's at sun up, mid to high 60's during the day. Worst day was Wednesday. Left The Wharf Marina on the ICW at Orange Beach, Alabama an hour before sunrise in 48F weather. Sun came up as we motored across Bon Secour Bay off east Mobile Bay. Had enough wind to roll out genoa to gain half knot or so. It was a 12 hour passage to Gulfport. Mississippi Got into Mandeville Thursday a bit before sundown. Started raining on us as we were leaving the marina in my truck. Timing is everything. One funny thing happened on the trip. On Wednesday, we passed a tow in the Pas au Herons Channel behind Dauphin Island, Alabama, The "Margaret" was pushing 4 loads wide and 2 "strung out" for a total of 8 barges. Margaret was only managing 2.7 knots according to AIS. On Thursday, after spending the night in Gulfport, we again passed the "Margaret" at the east end of Lake Borgne. I was soooo tempted to hail them with "It's me again, Margaret" (remember the Ray Stevens song?). Dennis C.

Cheers, Russ At 07:58 PM 20/12/2014, you wrote: <blockquote> Ditto Russ' procedure. Hose with nozzle. Several hard blasts couple times a year. If necessary, wrap a rag around the nozzle to direct all the pressure into the scupper. At haul out, clean the thruhulls and paint the inside with a good antifouling paint to prevent marine growth from clogging the exit. Dennis C.
