I hope the people who use this forum are aware that this web site has an incredibly extensive on-line marine store. I went to the store and clicked on "Miscellaneous" and then on "Everything else" and, right there on top, are drain plugs.

Somehow it does not seem very polite to be sending people elsewhere when you can get it right here and help to support this website and the wide array of forums we provide free for any group that wants to have a forum here. Not to mention the other services provided here, like event schedules for the whole country and a large classified ad section.

In fact, since it is the middle of the night and I am a little cranky, I am also wondering how many of the people on this forum subscribe to my magazine, "Catamaran Sailor," which I have been publishing for the past 10 years -- and which is why I am often up in the middle of the night tilting at windmills.
