[C320-list] Flag pole socket

[Tim Fleming]

Flying 3+5 padres flag during baseball and a Packers Flag in Winter. About 80% up the halyard, then a Halloween sock flag with tentacles flys off the starboard flag line, and big black rubber snake on the bimini the prev owner left... Seem to help.  But nothing prevents the fly overs ... we get birds moving trough who eat purple berries off trees (stupid marina move to play them). So a dab of softscrub with bleach for a min does the trick.

That is hilarious!  Practical Sailor did a piece on bird repellant some time
back and basically concluded that most solutions are no better than
witchcraft.  But Colin, you really should submit this one to them!

Best bird repellant is to put bread on the boat next to you

Would anyone have an idea of how many degrees the flag pole socket on the
aft pulpit is canted? I'm an hour from the boat so I can't measure mine. I
picked up an ultrasonic bird repeller that I want to mount on a stainless
steel pole in the flag socket, but I need to bend it to stand vertically so
the repeller will "aim" in the right direction. 


Thanks, 

David Prudden
