pumping and fuel tank filling yesterday as the tide was nearly out.

For whatever strange reasons the mind has, the above was evocative
of your progress since the St. Pete prep days on the hard. Sweating

That seems like yesterday, and here you are today, casually and
confidently diving to inspect your vessel.
Good God man, you have changed!
As an aside, I wonder how many here do frequent inspections of the
hull. I suspect most don't see it except at haul outs.
