GL: Windlass cover

[Albin43SDtr]

'Lo Ken and All,

Covers are good for almost anything for protection from the elements. 
I offer one caution, however. Be careful when working in the area 
around them, even when not taking them off, as bees love to make 
their nests under these covers and they can get VERY protective of 
their space.  I am quite allergic to bee stings, so I have to carry 
bee sting kits with me. I have learned most of the places the 
critters like to build nests and approach them with due caution. I 
have had black hornets, mud daubers, and yellow jackets build nests 
on/in the various boats I have been on. We also always have bee 
sprays, such as Hot Shot, on the boat, just in case.

Also, be careful of spider nests under the covers, too.

The tighter (less movement) the cover, the more probable that a nest 
will at some time be built under it. Of course, if it is frequently 
removed, there is less probability.


Take care and be safe.
