Thanks for your help Phil. I am so glad i asked for suggestions on this forum. I recieved an email today with a link to the nav lights I asked help with earlier in a previous post. I bought all three that I needed and even an all around white I plan to use for anchor light. And it all came up to less than just the pair of bow lights at WM. Thanks again, Patrick

Hey Patrick,
How is your engine overhaul going?
We miss hearing how your Morgan OI renovation is going.
I hope you get some actual sailing time in as your boating season is just starting while my boat is on the hard. I have to work on my gas engines carburator now as the gas leak it now has presents a slight danger!
Keep us posted.

Caleb, A slight leak from a carburator as a small danger is analogous to being only slightly pregnant.

My boat is slightly pregnant - hijack.

Thanks Ross,
Sometimes it is difficult to tell if someone is being sarcastic or not from the written word. In your case I almost always get it. In my case "a slight leak" was my way of dryly understating the issue.
I'll probably head off to my boat tomorrow to take that carb puppy off with a lit cigarette hanging from my mouth by candlelight! If you don't hear from me again then you will know what happened.
Actually I take this quite seriously. My boat partner does even more so as he seems to be very sensitive to the fumes. I kind of like the smell of gas (in the open air) so I guess this job will fall on me. I don't even mind the smell of diesel so much and I even like the chunky noise that a diesel engine can make but no one wants a fuel leak of any kind on their boat.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

thanks for the inquiry regarding the free boat. I have put it on hold until i complete the Oday25. Its almost complete. I will sew the remainder of the interior cushions tonight. The middle son (Jesse and i ) scrubbed the exterior today. Concentrating heavily on the teak. Next i will sand and varnish, grind bottom paint off and fair, then bottom paint and put back on the trailer and launch. I will get some photo's soon. Too many projects and not enough time. So, i stick to one until done then can devote full efforts to my dream "free" boat. Thanks all, hang in there. Patrick
