Mark, Gratis (6115), with all the news about oil in the Gulf, what is happening with sailing? I was able to see first hand the oil spill in Texas in 1980 (oil rig in Yucatan). It was a real mess with big globs oil a foot thick and yards long washed up on the beach between Corpis Cristi and Brownsville. I can’t imagine how that would mess up a nice white hull let alone getting all over sails and into engines etc.
