Yep, I'm a living contrdiction; dirt worshiping sailor! And I do LOVE the time I spend in the dirt.

I think the bee may have been killed by the paint chips (lead???) that clogged the drain in the first place. So, I took all six drains apart and found debris in each one. Running slick as a newborn's GI tract now!
Now, that damn deck! Guess any 45 yo boat is an on-going project.
