The other day while avoiding some needful sanding of fiberglass I found myself intrigued by one of those never ending threads on a forum about sailboat gear…
As usual, someone popped up and stated categorically that if something costs more it’s better and the old chestnut “you get what you pay for” is a stone cold fact.
Being bored by such stupidity (but still unwilling to sand fiberglass) I found myself reading another thread about anchoring rights (or lack of) in Florida and found myself confronted by another idiot person of strong opinion who seemed to think that rich people’s rights to an uncluttered view from their palatial shore side homes free of mythical derelict boats was more important than a boater’s right to anchor…
All of a sudden the idea of sanding fiberglass and the resulting itch waiting for me was looking a lot more entertaining than reading the forum in question.
Now, truth be told, I actually enjoy working on the boat and even sanding fiberglass, once I’ve actually got started it’s, if not enjoyable, at least a great way to clear your mind and think…
So, while sanding all of a sudden two words popped into my head.
