John:
Our marina has slips for ca 400 boats, all doubles on finger-docks
(finger every second boat).
Because of unalterable geographical circumstances, however, there are
two slips that are for one boat only (fingers on both sides of the
boat). Scaramouche has one of those two slips heh heh heh!
Needless to the say, I pay my seasonal slip rent on time (Jan 1) to
assure getting the same berth year after year....
George of Scaramouche1, Lake Ontario, Canada
P.s: I'm a singlehander, my boat has a single right hand prop (walks
toward port in reverse) and the prevailing summer winds are from
starboard but do I care? With fingers on both sides what me
worry!
There must be a leak somewhere in my V berth, either
dingy winch, anchor locker, or hatch. I went out this
weekend and bought a 30 pint dehumidifier. Floor model
was nearly half the price of new! So in it goes,
nearly as tall as the V berth (bed to ceiling) . aobut
3/4 in from the ceiling. I set it directly under the
hatch. Next few days should tell what happens. I htink
I like the idea of canvas hatch cover. Something I
thought about a while ago and didnt recall until
someone on the list pointed it out. This unit is large
and takes up valuable space. No more sleeping in the V
berth until it dries up around here.
I ran the dehumid for about 12 hours and had about 4
pints in it. I somewhat dislike running it
constalntly. Its a bit loud, draws about 700+ watts,
and is large. Better solutions exist and I might
explore these.
