[Public-List] Permanent mooring for A-30's

[Don Campbell]

Remember that Hugh is mooring in the sea on the west coast of Newfoundland.
    There is an additional wear factor with salt and concrete and I am 
not sure if you can obviate the effect by adding salt to the concrete 
mix or if air entrainment would help. If using rebar, then use painted 
rebar.
    I too would like to hear more of the trip as I am sure I passed 
Hugh's boat tied at the paper company pier at Thorold in the Welland 
Canal in early July. No-one was aboard at the time we went by.
