Somewhat short of a cunning plan...

Krugman makes an important point, this is worth a listen, what could happen next time you need some engine parts if your name is Jones, and in the memory hole induced irony department...

I've been jumping through some mental hoops trying to sort out a more-than-cunning-plan to deal with all of the STUFF we carry around on the aft of our boats these days... It gets messy if not unsightly.

Dive bottles are the most current bane to my existence. Commercial racks all seem to have a bigger footprint than I have anywhere on "So It Goes" and, surprise, most are silly expensive...


This does seem to have the right idea but it's too big/expensive and, is it just me or do the words "eight-inch PVC schedule 40 pipe" jump to mind?...

While this one is more about the right size and would work out quite well on the coachroof (or maybe not as it might interfere with the dinghy) but a lot of money for not a lot of material and something like it could be built in Starboard or ply for a lot less.

More about this project later...

So it goes...
