I'm in San Angelo now. I wound up wrapping a spare tarp around the rudders and bungeeing the whole thing in place (like in the pic above, but add a tarp there). No chafe on the tramp that I can see.

Once near the MS-LA border the tarp came up a bit and became a giant parachute so I had to pull over and adjust it. 8)~

My GF and I stopped in Jackson, MS the first night and then sailed with Jerome Vaughan the next morning for 2 hours or so on his boat.
