Topside Paint II: "Off-White"

We managed to find a quart of Interlux's "Off White" from West Marine in Anacortes, where we went yesterday to pick up the paint and stroll among the boats moored there.  We were looking a different paint schemes, as well as some of the rigging equipment on the various boats, to get ideas and confirmation of our (Dad's) ideas.
