Keepin’ it working with Captain Chris
-
Air Conditioners– Get your toothbrush ready to scrub the sea strainer. In fact, this time of year you might want to scrub ’em weekly to keep the water flowing and the cabin coooool.
-
Zincs – If you haven’t hopped over lately to check out your zincs then you may be surprised to learn they’re almost gone. Stray current from a neighbors poorly wired boat may be eating your shaft zincs.
-
Lines– Take a stroll around your decks and check for any signs of chafing on your dock lines. Look at the most obvious rub points and consider how well the lines might hold in a good blow. You know it doesn’t take a Hurricane for 70knot winds to appear. A sudden squall can take you by surprise and pop lines already weakened by wear.
-
Flowers– Give your sweetie one exotic long stem for no reason and keep everyone guessing!
Tropical Update – Whoo Hoo! No official landfalls as we write this but Earl sure gave us a scare. Remember that September is the biggie so don’t let your guard down yet. Have a plan for protecting your boat? Contact us if we can help with your Hurricane preparation plans.
