Ordeal or Adventure

Captain Hilts?

November 18th
It's all about your attitude.  Is something an ordeal or an adventure?

I have been heads down on a big canvas project for the past four days.  This means I have taken over the entire salon (saloon) of s/v Honey Ryder.  The table is down and the leaf out.  To get forward to our stateroom or the forward head one must either crawl under the table leaf or squeeze around.  Cap10 Tom has opted to crawl under, roll playing Steve McQueen"s Captain Hilt in "The Great Escape" as he does. He even hums the "The Great Escape" music.  Guys are so funny. 

I have opted instead to squeeze around the end of the table leaf to get forward.  More of an "Italian Job" sort of maneuver.  *Remember the Mini's squeezing into and out of tight areas in both the original and the remake? 

Ordeal or adventure?  We chose adventure with a movie twist.  

Zippers

Vinegar and Bees Knees

Canvas bags stored below in lockers on our boat have to be treated every so often with a good vinegar wipe down or mold creeps in.  Zippers MUST be treated as well or they will completely freeze up. I used Bees Knees zipper wax on bags in storage.  For you surfers, I think sex wax would work as well but I am not 100% sure.  On our dodger, bimini enclosure, I use Zipper Lube with the exception of the front zipper.  It is prone to leaks so I use the Bees Knees generously and it helps to seal up the zipper.  Bees Knees also works to keep our companionway hatch sliding easily.
