  Don't know what happen on that first reply, it just suddenly went! 
Anyway, thanks for the invite for February but probably won't be able to 
make it this year. I will be in Chicago at Strictly Sail about that same 
time but maybe next year.I would love to come to such an event.
  Now, your question on the plug. At the bottom of my keel, just in 
front of where the rudder is attached there is a brass plug. It's like 
they use on a water tank for a drain plug. I don't know it's exact size 
but it's probably about one-half inch in diameter and you remove and 
replace it with an allen wrench. Inside it's in probably the lowest 
point of the bilge, just in front of the motor. It's great for haulout 
in the fall, pull the plug and drain. No messing with anti-freeze or 
some such thing!! The only problem we had was we didn't know it was 
there when we lowered "Tradewinds" into the river in Milwaukee. The 
previos owner didn't tell us about it!! 
  Will look forward to the messages on the different problems and 
solutions you(and everyone else) have found to the many little odd 
things on our Alberg's.
  Later,
