This bottom paint is not generallyavailable through the normal commercial channels.Bad government research has determined thatMicron 44 kills shellfish and other marine crittersbecause of the tin content (TBT) in the paint. Becauseof the fact that Micron 44 is not readily availablefor a boat of Right’s Guard’s size, the woman Iam seeking has to have some experience in themarine trades and know how to solder electricalconnections. It would also help if she had an AmericanExpress platinum card, knew how to cook gourmetmeals and was drop dead gorgeous. Tobaccochewing optional.

BUBBA (continued from page 19)INDEX OF ADVERTISERSFLORIDA KEYS SAILING (continued from page 51)to cross the finish.Classics division was graced bywooden vessel Clay Basket, a consistentfirst-place winner who sparred withOriana, a sprightly little cutter who wonthe DFL prize in April. Pterodactyl dominatedthe multihull division and mayhave generated what locals thought wereUFO sightings. Unable to play withPterodactyl, the rest of the multihull rustlershad a showdown with each other.Tri-Ala-Mode breezily slid into second inFebruary, while classy cat Conch Pearl, thesleek Java Cat and tiny Troika sprinted fora placing. Troika, my peevish 16-foot trihulledsteed, proved her mettle by stealingthird in February and second placein April. It wasn’t easy.In the schooner class, several magnificenttall ships maneuvered for prizes.In February, Liberty Clipper and Appledoreengaged in a dramatic bow-sprit-to-bowspritfinish. The video of the race had tobe repeatedly viewed to determine thatLiberty Clipper’s long spar crossed the linefirst. Beautiful blue Dreamcatcher placedfirst in both January and April’s races. Inthe Challenge class, schooner America andsuper fast cat Carribbean Spirit fought it out,and the cat clawed out ahead.Hats off to Evalena and PaulWorthington of Schooner Wharf Bar, themasterminds behind Key West’sWrecker’s Race tradition. Sheree Rufworked hard behind the scenes and maintainedorder. Professional Capt. Jeff Stottsmanned the committee boat, A.K.A. “cocktailcruiser”, and took charge of the preraceand award ceremony parties. Prizesof Pusser’s Rum, West Marine gear andSchooner Wharf goodies were well-enjoyedby the winning boats.
