Subject: Re: The Horror
Jim,

Gavin was the first to warn against too much duct tape, check the chapter.
But there are uses for it. For example we ducttaped the antenna back
together after we got hit by some water spouts last year, and its still
going strong. Of course it will be replaced prior to USCG inspection. I dont
see a problem with a duct tape quick fix, but if you replace your tape from
season to season, the first step in getting help is admitting you have a
problem.

My Name is Al and I am a duct-tape-aholic....
