Re: Boat Changes shape on the hard?

I have a 20' endoscope that I am going to try on Saturday. Maybe I will get lucky and see the issue. I couldn't even get a fish tape to go through so something is clearly different.

Re: Cuba Sailing rally May/April???

It might be the Salty Dawg one. I tried searching "cuba salty dawg" to see if I could find the thread without any luck.
Both rallies do look interesting so I appreciate the additional options.
