.Ah! The good old dipping lug. It was always my job to dip the damned thing when we were tacking and it always turned out to be the most recalcitrant invention on God's green earth.

I'm all for coming along - will try to think of some of the good old jokes. I'll also bring along something to put in the water to make sure it is sterile.
