He did just after.

Going to pass it up this time but I’m sure we will be back by.

Why is it called Dry?

@@troytreeguy No fresh water. One of the first things they built was a cistern and rain catchment.

I’ve had been clamping the line on with a single hose clamp with very little damage to the line. I doubt there will be any significant problem.

And enjoying life.

That is because you are a pessimist.

That is a great test. ...and the storm is a far away.

Yeah, I need to charge the batteries.

That is a possibility.

It's a sailrite LSZ portable walking foot sewing machine. I love mine.

Sorry. Change of plans.

I’ll let you do the worrying and they don’t yet grow bamboo you can weld.

@@SVSeekercome on man, i seen a dude weld his flip flops to a bamboo scaffold 50 stories up in snow storm. 😂❤

@bobsyouruncle1574 And then the Chinese invented hose clamps and the world was a better place. :-)

​@@SVSeekerhose clamps work. :-) what people do not get is that to do this without clamping pressure, you would need to poke a hole in, or weld something onto the batten. Both of those ideas weaken the rig. If you use line to do this, now you have to think about wear and tear a lot more, let alone how much time it takes to put in a clamping knot. If it were me, I might plastic coat the back side of those clamps just for completeness. If I wanted to be fancy, I'd use small stuff and wrap them nice, and lacquer over them. Neither of those things will improve function much, if at all, so you're 100% good, sir.

Oh, to the OP, his rig is way too big to even think about using bamboo. To do that, you'd need special, construction grade bamboo, and that stuff costs more than pipe, won't last as long, and you can't weld it, and shouldn't drill it. And good luck finding a replacement. The Chinese used bamboo back then because they didn't have rolled metal pipe. But even then, on the bigger ships they did a lot more, using exotic woods and lacquer to strengthen the battens. And they kept replacement material on board, because that super strong bamboo only grew on high mountains and was hard to get.

Oh. That would be cool but it's a lot of work.

Yeah, it's the deck crane. : )

Sure

Thanks!

Not anytime soon. I was just clamping the rope to the batten with a single clamp.

Sorry, no. We are departing Key West today, headed to Ft Pierce.

@@SVSeeker well, crap, missed you again. I'll have to pay closer attention.

Most of the time. I don’t pitch it to zero but I do pull it back.

Wow. I had to look that one up. : )

Polysoprin is neosporin with out neomycin4 witch only rely matters if your allergic to it. As far as do not use on ,Moderate to severe injuries Animal bites Puncture wounds Deep wounds Is about it you shouldn't use in On second degree burn, or third. Basically don't get it in your body just on it . From webmd neosporin: "used to prevent and treat minor skin infections caused by small cuts, scrapes, or burns" From goodrx: "Neosporin is used to help prevent skin infections in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns"

Actually no . The only difference between Neosporin and Polysporin is that Neosporin is a " triple antobiotic formula " ( bacitracin , neomycin , and polymyxin B ) and Polysporin is a " double antibiotic formula " ( bacitracin , and polymyxin B ) . The only reason to choose Polysporin vs Neosporin is when you have an allergy to neomycin .

My what? : )

@@SVSeekerInsurance? We don’t need no stinking insurance!

​@SVSeeker I think he asked is your welder still working???

It did indeed. But it sure makes for a booming construction industry.

Found no rock. But the food and people are great.

For jetskies

@@SVSeeker

LOL I do thousands of things that work fine, but in the back of my head I hear the KZfaq comments tell me it's not the "proper way". : )

Dude. Relax. Enjoy life and find some humor. : )

@@SVSeeker So I guess my sarcastic dry style of humor wasn't coming through in how I wrote that...fail on my part, it was supposed to be funny in a ribbing sort of way. Love what you are doing especially considering you are from my home state. Growing up every time my dad and I drove up to sail on our boat on Grand Lake, he would point out as we drove over the Kerr-McClellan Navigation Channel that you can go anywhere in the world you want if you follow that channel south. I just never knew anyone who had, now I kinda do...and it's cool to follow your adventures. I'll try to improve my funny on future comments...we'll see how that goes. Fair winds and following seas sailor!

@@acampbell198 No sorry. Now seen in that light it's funny as hell. The world needs more sarcasm. Keep it up and I'll try to see the humor first myself. : )
