    Down by the river

    The deal of the century Air Line Hookah

    We are still in the Sassafras River watching hurricane Dorian. Jim has not had a chance to test the second hand Air Line hookah he purchased at Bacon Sails recently so today we checked it out. Bacon Sails is a semi-famous Annapolis establishment that consigns pre-owned boat equipment. While Jim was there consigning Renegade’s old sails and anchors he ran across the Air Line, made a low ball offer and purchased the unit. We have been looking at getting one of these hookahs new for situations where we foul the prop, anchor or to make hull cleaning less a chore. We used it around an hour to clean the bottom and it worked great.
