They don't know how...

Re: Rigging turnbuckle lubrication

I was referred to lanacote by my rigger.

Try rubbing a pig on your rigging. Where you are, something is better than nothing. Re-apply as necessary.

Re: Marina wants to be on my Insurance?

The marina is never liable for anything if you've signed something to that effect.
