2500 miles into the venture and I discovered the hold down straps have
chaffed through the gelcoat to the blue on the chines of my Potter. How can
I protect the boat from future chaffing. I assume I'll need some gelcoat
repairs before going into the water.
In 8 days of travel I've enjoyed(?) 5 (as in FIVE) flat tires. But that
story and the tornado in Missouri Monday night require greater discourse
than I have time for tonight...
