Harry,

That was a beautiful account of what sounded like a memorable evening.

As I finished reading your story, my concern about boat care in salt water
came to mind again. It seemed the consensus of the group that you must wash
down the hull and run the outboard for a few moments in fresh water after
having it in salt water. I cannot imagine doing that after a late night
moonlight cruise.

Judy? Since you take such good care of Redwing and are running a newer gas
outboard, do you run it in a fresh water bucket each time you're out?
