spent about thirty minutes this morning getting the boat cleaned up, motor warmed up, gear loaded, etc. Looked at the tie off for the bow of the boat, and lo and behold, the dammm thing was dangling from the winch. So much for fishing, will be making trip to the friendly local hardware store for some stainless hardware this time. (previous owner evidently thought galvanized was a good idea.) better at home in the driveway than on the road, though.
it is easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission
