Earlie Right on!-g- Great sanity maintaining hobby you've found there!-g- I never got into competitive sailing, but the first comercial fishing job I ever did was on the Chesapeake oyster fishing skipjacks. They are the last working fleet of boats to work under sail....at least they were-g- It was like working 100 years in the past. The characters on that island were classic, allot of history. It took me a month of hanging around to even get a chance to work with them... they don't open their arms to outsiders very easily. I was the only outsider to work on that island in recent memory.-g- Once I was in though, I was in! Then they started introducing me to their daughters!-g- I guess that "getting the paint blown off the hull" is more widely used than I thought.-g- There is a bay on the west side of cook inlet in Alaska(Kamishak) where we used to fish for roe herring. We had to wait for them to "ripen". During the wait we definitely saw allot of paint blown of the hulls!-g- Mark
