That's funny!

Congrats Stu!  Both my mother in law and my mother have had that done recently 
and they are really quite happy with the results!  My mother jokes about not 
recognizing the old woman staring back at her from the mirror!

Good stuff here. I am nothing if not a practical sailor. Awlgrip, as good as it

Stus-List Marina camouflage

[Lee Youngblood via CnC-List]

Hi Wally,

It's good to see you are surviving in the Mexico marinas, and after 
all the paperwork flap of last year your camouflage continues to 
work. . .  I can hardly recognize your boat.


I remove the foam from the cushions and dry them out separately. 



Cheers, Lee

I haven't experienced that, but maybe what I call vinyl is actually Naugahyade. 
 You can't find Naugahyde any more, because the Nauga's were hunted to near 
extinction.  Then a bunch of college kids started this 'Save the Nauga' 
campaign, but it was too late.  (That's an old joke, but still makes me giggle.)

Stu -

Good news!  I can imagine your joy.  Go outside on a clear night and 
marvel at the stars.


I love to hear stories like that, because I've been visually challenged 
all my life but don't make a big deal out of it.  I wear glasses on top 
of contact lenses, and don't go out in public with only glasses because 
people stare.  When RK was invented in the 70's the doctors said it 
wouldn't do much good, and when laser surgery was invented in 1990 I 
actually spent an incredible amount of money to try and be part of a 
clinical trial, but was rejected.  In 2002 I learned that it was 
impossible because the level of correction would remove the entire 
cornea and fry my retina and optic nerve, and the only option was lens 
replacement surgery.  I decided to wait.  Heck, I'm functional (sorta 
) and know that with all the UV I've seen I'll probably end up with 
cataracts eventually.


Again, congrats, and go sailing at night and marvel at the stars.

Wal

Stus-List big $$$ used C&C (now upholstery)

About 8 to 10 years ago, I replaced all my upholstery with vinyl and mesh 
bottoms.  I don't have any mildew problems but the vinyl is de laminating in 
spots that are most used or have a crease.  I will have to replace everything 
again.  I would never use vinyl again for interior upholstery but it's great 
for outdoors.
