It reminds me of the eager racer who wrapped a line around his mainsail to see if he could add a couple more knots.

I am a newbie, but...
I am tempted to ask the Admiral to get me some prop wash when I am cleaning the outboard or to get me the line stretcher out of the tool box. However, I am currently in good health and want to remain that way. ;-)

What do you do....
when the boat heels too much and all of a sudden, the port is starboard? Ross, love the anchors joke. ;D When I was in the army, we would send the nugs for an ST1 kit, or an IDtenT package........ some of them took a while to get it. Cheers, Bob
