Default How about a blister report, Capt. Skippy?

I recall predicting the "Flying Pig" might go as much as
six months without new blisters rearing their ugly convexities
because you didn't do an adequate job drying out the bottom
preferring to believe some nonsense about a daily spraying with
fresh water doing the job adequately.

It's been what? About six months since you returned to the
water? Have you snorkeled down and scrubbed the slime off
the bottom and examined it for new blisters?

Let me guess, you found several but they aren't very large
yet with emphasis on the word yet.

It's been nine months today. (Splashed 1-26-13)

No blisters, and the barnacles brushed right off.

LOTS more to come; the last one only got us into FL/GA, and the pattern
continues.

Currently enjoying St. Augustine, walking a couple miles a day, with family
coming next weekend.

Keep the faith; I just haven't taken the time to write...
