Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

Subject: Mildew in Cabin

I just remodeled a house which had caposporum mildew (the same stuff that grows in showers) in a thin sheen across some sections of walls.

I had an environmental mold inspector take a look at it and give me some tips on how to remove it.

He said to use Hydrogen Peroxide. It's just as deadly to the mold but not nearly so dangerous to us as bleach, amonia, etc.

I bought 20 bottles and wiped down every surface in the house. No dilution. It worked perfectly and didn't leave a smell.

I'll bet it would work great in an express too, however if I were to sleep in the boat after wiping it with HP I'd research any possible ill effects since the space is so enclosed.
