oakum to cotton and what is the correct mix ratios for the putty.....
matter of fact what are the ingredients of proper caulking putty???


Sniff. Of course you did.


I'll toss you a bone... 2/3 common putty and 1/3 white lead..... Gaps-
less than 1/4" use cotton... 1/4" or greater use oakum and set battens.

Now... do you caulk a boat wet or dry? Why?


Yes, why don't you tell us. You seem to be enjoying yourself.


Oky Doky.... you caulk a dry boat.... but not more than a season on the
skids other wise the strakes will need to be re-soaked for 12 hours and then
air dried for a few days. You want to apply just enough caulking so that
when the strakes swell they pinch the caulking flat to the strake.
Bulged caulking is a sign of poor craftsmanship.

Here's another piece of info... when you replace strakes... seasoning should
be done by sinking the planks at mid tide level and allowing the tide to
soak and dry them for a week prior to laying to and nailing the strake to
shape.

Glad I could be of help.... now if you could be of some assistance.... I
was taking Construction Documentation Photos for a report and I can't seem
to get a decent photo of the bridge work without 'red-eye'. What should I
do?


Hire a Professional Photographer.

Hope this helps.

Sniff... Old foolish bait

I'd hire Bob.... but he keeps getting red-eye on all his shots.
Maybe you could take a shot for me from the observatory?

Difficult. The earth is curved so that no matter how long a lens were
used I could not take a picture for you in Canada from here. If you paid
my airfare I could come and do it for you. When do you need this report
completing? Do you want digital or film?

Since you may not be able to afford my services, try getting someone to
look up Professional Photographer in the yellow pages for you.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

What do you expect with the current outlay of info you've been providing.

Seems to me you've been real shy about making any 'definitive claims' as of
late.

Don't tell me your Arrogance is wearing off with old age?

That would be a bummer!

WHAT... you don't have control of the Hubble Telescope????

****.... I thought you said you knew what you were doing.

Never mind I'll just photoshop the red-eye out of the pylons myself!

CM

Can't use the Hubble, there are too many clouds hanging over ya... No
wait, I see a clearing... Yes it's you -it must be... all covered in
flies and shaking hands... And there's a dog ... Isn't that illegal in
Canada?

Well, you should be more clear when you respond...you implied OUR by the way
you replied....I was greatly shocked and was about to call Lisa right away
and tell her you had converted to Mormonism...

I call myself Nav. beacuse I am not the Captain, just a member of the
crew. In that regard I may be unusual as there many Captains here.

To answer your second question, the number of sailors who can
navigate well by DR is small.


Now, why do you call yourself "Lady"

Are there many sailors out there that can't navigate?
