| Cleaning a Saltwater Boat
|
|
A saltwater boat is so very difficult, and expensive, to keep clean. I was using SoftScrub to clean my bay boat, but ran out one day. I had a choice as to whether I should go to the store and buy more, or make some myself.

| Use Foam Swimming Noodles as Bumpers
|
|
A friend of ours made "bumpers" for a rowboat he had newly painted by cutting up a foam swimming noodle and stringing a pair on some nylon rope.

| Use Dental Floss to Repair a Sail
|
|
Like an old-time sailor, I took needle and thread and mended a rip in the sail of our boat. The needle was a heavy-duty one from the drug store - and the THREAD was DENTAL FLOSS. It fit through the needle and because it was WAXED, it slid easily through the sail cloth!

| Make Ahead Meals For Boating Weekends
|
|
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for what I could make a head of time (freeze, etc.) during the week to use for meals (sandwiches get boring after awhile) on the boat (so not too complicated) on the weekends?

I am just wondering if there is way to keep spiders out of my boat? I don't want to use chemicals because of worry with human and pet contact.

|
My husband and I bought a used pontoon boat in pretty good shape except the pontoon tubes or coated with a lot of scale from being left in the water for long periods of time.

Boat Friendly Recipes. I frequently have guests over for extended (3-4 hour) boating "parties". Anyone have any suggestions for boat friendly recipes for heavy hors d'oeuvres I could take along?

| Don't Canoes Tip Easily?
|
|
By Marcia Adair
|
 Like most things, canoes are perfectly safe if used in the manner in which they were designed. In actual fact, you have to work pretty hard to flip a canoe over because of its relatively flat bottom. Granted, if you stand up in a canoe, it is likely to turn over but then again, you're kind of asking for trouble if you do something like that.

| How to Steer a Canoe
|
|
By Marcia Adair
|
|
Steering a canoe efficiently can cause quite a bit of frustration for the novice canoeist. The best advice is to do a little as possible and when you do need to correct the course, do it with the least amount of effort. This will ensure you don't get stuck in a cycle of overcorrecting yourself.

| Can I Paddle a Canoe By Myself?
|
|
By Marcia Adair
|
 The short answer is yes, you can paddle a canoe by yourself. It is infinitely easier to do with two people but with a few minor alterations, you should be able to have a pleasant journey.
