Weve had a bloated coon
floating around the marina for a week now.

Don't you think it's marinated long enough? Fire up the grill!

Haven't seen him lately, bet the alligator gar ate him. They get
allot of the baby ducklings this time of year to. The fishermen hate
the gars because they are such competition. They look prehistoric to
me big scales like dragons crusing the marina underwater. They come to
the surface all the time and roll all you usually see is the side.
Some are 6-8 feet long.

Not as bad as a rotten alligator thou.

I couldn't deal with those things. I'd never get in the water to wipe the
bottom off.

Not a common occurance, but they die 2. Last one I had to drag out of
the marina with the dink. The water is so muddy here you can not see
to well in the marina. Only time at the dock that I jump in is for
lost items or just to inspect for growth and check out the zincs.
Offshore is the place to swim here.


Some lady dropped a 1&1/2 caret diamond in the marina down the dock,
saw it splash but they never found it. Or a diver slipped it in his
booty.

That's what happens when you pay some scurvy lot to rub your bottom. Love
your site.

On both O'Day's and on Chanteuse we've always used VC 17 every other year
for bottom paint and have never had much af a problem with build up, even
when moored last year, which really surprised me. A lot of boats on the
moorings had garden's growing around their waterlines where we didn't (but
then, we sailed and a lot of them just sat there). Now that we're fairly
certain we'll be moving this summer to the Gulf Coast of Florida, we have to
change our regimen to accomodate salt water. At present, we have two coats
of VC 17 over the new bottom. We asked at Torresen's and they recommended
using Interlux Micron anti-fouling paint but that we would have to sand off
the VC17 (quite lethal stuff) They quoted 2600.00 plus the cost of the
paint to do it. When we go down in April, we're going to get quotes from
yards threr, too. Just how nasty would sanding off 2 coats of VC17 be? Is
Interlux Micron as thin as VC 17 or is it a thicker paint? How many coats
of Interlux can you put on before having to resand? We'll probably be
usiing the boat for live aboard the first year we're there, so it will be
sitting in a marina rather than on a mooring...seems most of the marinas are
on the river with flowing water rather than still. Will this make a
difference in the growth factor?
