[Sentoa] Mud Dam

[Ken Jegen]

I noticed a letter by Jim Waskowich 37-142 concerning a way of making  
a muck & mud dam to prevent it from going down the side deck.  I have  
my boat, Buster 37-76 in the Chesapeake bay and it is a continuous  
problem.  The bay has mud with concrete texture that unless you have  
massive pressure takes a long time to break loose. I anchor frequently  
and often in a place where many others are, so considering wind and  
current you do not have the option of washing all the mud off before  
it gets on the anchor platform. I end up having to wash out the  
cockpit and side decks as we get away from the anchorage.  It is  
really no big thing but just wondered if anyone has found a way to  
divert the mud overboard. Thanks, Ken Jegen 37-76
