It just ate my comment. <BR/>My best friend lived on a boat - her parents and 4 kids on a 75 ft. wooden schooner. <BR/>When it went up on drydock, they discovered I was the only one not allergic to fiberglass sheets, and guess who got invited every weekend to help patch up the hull? LOL. I learned a lot about repairing boats that year, and how to live in very, very small spaces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256059.post-1166490809957529342006-12-18T15:13:00.000-10:002006-12-18T15:13:00.000-10:00Did you notice your kitty looks like a nautilus? ...Did you notice your kitty looks like a nautilus?

Yeees.<BR/> We know to close the through hull but it was a bit problematic.<BR/>It was late at night and the hose goes in a circuitous path through the engine room. <BR/>Our plug is securely clamped to the hose. (I called it a dowel but it is a graduated wooden plug specifically made for the purpose. <BR/>Finding the correct through hull (there are MANY on a 50 ft boat! LOL) will be my fifth job today!<BR/>Heavy duty clamps on a boat are your FRIEND!!!<BR/>BTW <BR/>I do appreciate your boyfriends suggestion - you never know how much people know about their boats!!ORIONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534064935115027523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256059.post-1166461316169825812006-12-18T07:01:00.000-10:002006-12-18T07:01:00.000-10:00Howdy, this is Betty Lou from Arkansas.

She used to perch up on any high place and look disdainfully down on all of us. But, she did love me. In fact, she loved me so much she gave birth to her kittens on my pillow next to me while I was sleeping. I woke up in a bit of a mess! I named her kittens Addidas, Converse, and...I can't remember. There were four, but the fourth died because he was a Manx and his non-tail was too short for his spine.<BR/><BR/>Kimber An<BR/>starcaptainsdaughter.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
