[Public-List] Alberg 30 FOR SALE ..............Osprey on mast head

[crufone at comcast.net]

George and Gail, 

Unfortunately, of all the sailboats nearby mine has the most comfortable perch. I do plan on changing that the next time my mast is down. If my boat had beautiful deck paint I would be really upset. As it is the sun scorched old gel cote is nothing too beautiful to look at and does stain easily. Guess I need to install many pointy things up on top of the mast cap. Thanks for the tips.

Of course, the mangled windex is because of Osprey.  I suspect the real 
key is parking your boat next to a more comfortable perch.
