no, it's not ok to use the lee rail either :-) and yes I'm sure that I've
swum in anchorage with god knows what floating around... it took a couple
of years to convince my 10 year old daughter that fish poop was not a
problem and that she could swim in something else than a swimmig pool.
but if she ever sees some brownish matter floating by, all these efforts to
convince her will be going down ...the head :-)
seriously, I understand your concerns and you make some valid points.I guess
it depends on where and how we use our boats, the hold n treat may not be
for everyone but in my case it makes sense since I spend most week ends in
NDZ.
good point about chemical treatments, I've been using odorloss for a while
now, I guess it should be ok but will make sure I read all the fine print...
