Yes, Eisboch's answer on the general question of why two large cruisers
would be interesting. You can only boat (together) on one at a time, and isn't one boat enough of a commitment? ==== Charles T. Low www.boatdocking.com ==== "mgg" wrote in message m... COOL! So what's the deal... |

From: Wayne.B No but the tops are badly rusted and they would not hold air pressure during the survey testing. Is it a large area that is rusted? You can clean off and Ospho the rust and cloth and epoxy over the areas. Saves quite a bit if money. Capt. Bill |

Very, very rarely. It's funny - in all the years I've been aware of this, I'll bet I've seen day signals about....oh, five times. And two of them was when they were dredging the Providence River last year. Later, Tom I don't recall ever seeing them on the ICW tows between the St. Marys and St. Johns Rivers. -- A passing thought: "Be firm: one certain element in luck is genuine, solid old Teutonic pluck." - Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894), American physician and writer |

When I was a kid, I remember seeing day signals on tugs taking coal over to the Salem Power Plant and fuel barges under tow. Like I said - I can't remember seeing one recently. Later, Tom |

From: Wayne.B You can clean off and Ospho the rust and cloth and epoxy over the areas. Saves quite a bit if money. It's an interesting thought but I'm not sure if I'd trust it offshore in a seaway. Do you know anyone who has done it successfully? Yes. If so, how did it hold up? Very well. One of the problems is that the top of the tanks are difficult to get to. Yeah, where the rust is located on the tank dictates whether you can use this method successfully on not. There are some very good rust "encapulating" paints avalable as well. That can be applied before the epoxy and glass. http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?i...ORY&itemID=372 Capt. Bill Capt. Bill |
