Come on, Guys and Gals, Sailors and Sailorettes (Sailoreens?), let's keep this one going - I want to hear from each and every one of you - NO rules about posting more than once.
Here's two more - both from Saltwater Suzi, who has a much better memory than I do. (Mine is so bad, I only need one DVD - watch it over and over. Trouble is, I can't remember where I put it.)
Suzi Sez:
Isenglass:
Keep a pair of soft cotton or soft jersey gloves handy in your cockpit to wear when you're rolling up your Isenglass (clear vinyl) zippered inserts in your dodger or enclosure - to keep those greasy fingerprints and hand prints off of the isenglass.
If you must roll up the isensglass when it is wet or even just damp - unroll it at your first opportunity - when the sun hits that moisture it 'cooks' the glass and fogs the glass - sometimes permanently.
Boat Cards
When cruising, most people make 2" x 3.5" boat cards - usually on their computer - (because the information for cruisers changes too frequently to make it worth having them printed). These cards can be exchanged with other boaters you meet along the way. And here's the tip: when you receive one - write on the back where and when you met them - you think you'll remember but you don't. It's amazing how often you run into the same people. We keep a business card notebook (office supply stores have them). When we see a boat that looks familiar - we leaf through it, find their card and call them on the
VHF. Wine and cheese often results. Sometimes a fish dinner with the catch of the day, if we're lucky.
