TODAYS TIP!
 Your old toothbrush is the perfect speed paddle cleaner!
If you find that you are not getting a reading on your speed indicator, it's likely that the paddles are fowled on your speed reader. Next time you buy a new toothbrush, stick the old toothbrush in your sail bag. A toothbrush is the perfect tool to whisk away all the growth and critters that have attached themselves to your paddle wheel. You'll be spinning fast in no time!
