Hi Connie, Just put my boat BACK IN the water yesterday after doing another bottom job. Mixed cayenne pepper in the ablative coats to see if the barnacles, etc. like Mexican food. Stay warm, Tom B On Thu, Nov 24, 2016 at 10:07 AM, Conbert Benneck <chbenneck@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi gang,
In Connecticut I have observed wild turkeys flying from one field to another. They have big powerful wings.
The thought just struck me; with Thanksgiving today, maybe you should make certain to keep all the turkey feathers you can get from your turkey and those of your neighbor's.
When all the Black Friday hoorah is over, and the dark winter days are here, then you might consider stitching your saved turkey feathers together to make a wonderful, very light weight and effective feather spinnaker for your M15 for the coming sailing season, instead of watching the TV and football.
Just think, you'll be the envy of your fellow sailors for the original idea, and for its effectiveness when sailing in whisper breezes....
So, save the turkey feathers, recycle them and put them to good use, and have a great Thanksgiving.
Connie
