My kid, home for Christmas, had me weld up a barnacle scraper.
A long wood handle with a sharp steel blade. Does this seem like a
good idea to you? If not, how? and with what?

Thanks for clueing me in.

Duh! Ever hear of applying bottom paint in a timely manner? There is NEVER
any real need to scrape barnacles provided you re-new your anti-fouling
annually.

Here we go again! Another negligent boater who ask for assistance on a topic
that lends credence to my observation that few sailors have any pride these
days. Not only do they neglect their boats but they seem proud to let the
whole world know about it by advertising their sloth on Usenet as if it were
the norm.

And look at all the helpful folks who queue up to answer their questions in
a serious manner never once realizing how equally negligent it makes them
sound. Sheeesh! Where's your pride and professionalism, people?
