I use a  wrist rocket slingshot and ball bearings - quiet and effective.

Steve,

Thanks for your great description of sailor's nirvana.  I can just
picture it.

But as sailors, we have to pay for our fleeting pleasures, and it sounded
as if the Big Toll Taker in the Sky was working overtime in your case.

Recommendation:  one quart oil containers filled with gasoline are great
for stowing, and for refueling the Honda in a bouncy seaway.  They are
easy to aim, easy to pour, and a lot easier to hold than a gallon
container with a spout. Two of them would have kept you going almost all
day........

There was an article in the Hartford newspaper about a Connecticut man
who builds cannons.  He started making regatta starter cannons, but now
has branched out into replicas of old naval cannons of almost any size
you might need or want.

Which leads me to think............   a small cannon mounted on the
foredeck of the M15 for use against PWCs. It might be a nice Sunday
sailor's sport, but is probably illegal, and certainly not PC!

But what would you use, grape shot?  or chain shot? or bird shot?

Connie
