Thanks for a nice story. It snowed in Seattle today so it was nice to hear
someone was sailing. All I got to do was apply yet another coat of varnish
to some of the removable parts.

Those puppies can really pour it in. I found the sternlight was a huge
culprit too, but chainplates are real bad on our vintage P19s because we
have those little enclosed compartments over the chainplates where the newer
boats with the newer interiors have a much more open setup.
