OK....I'm planning to shove off the dock Friday morning for a 7 day cruise. My work schedule is hectic and I won't be able to fuel up before I leave. The long term weather forcast for Friday AM is bleak and includes 60% chance of showers.

I MUST fuel up Friday AM if I am going make my trip. Any words of advise on fueling in a Rain storm....hopefully no Thunder and Lightning!!!!

Off the top of my head (literally) I could just put an old hat over the nozzle while I fuel..... :smt100

I can tell already....the admiral is NOT going to be a happy camper going in the ocean this Friday with the forcast what it is.....
 
Don't y'all have umbrellas up there in the North.............?

Just keep a towel or old chamois handy to wrap the fuel nozzel with in case you fuel up in a down pour..........add the fuel treatment Fri night before it rains!
 
Us "Witches" from the north don't like water... remember OZ.... :grin:

I'm trying to open up Thursday afternoon at the office so I can get out early and fuel up then, but after looking at the weather forcast, it doesn't look like it would make too much difference.... :smt013


Umbrella.....hmmmm..... :smt017 ....now there's an idea....
 
My first thought was Umbrella.

My second thought was Hat.

This is why I don't have a cabin cruiser: I don't feel compelled to be on the water when it rains :grin:
