Time to scrape the barnacles
Ok, its Fall now and we have gone from a toasty 99 degrees to a balmy
92 so I thought it would be a good day to lay on the dock and scrape barnacles offa my 28' S2 cuz I havent gotten around to sailing her 40 miles away to be painted. At 51 yrs of age, I find that 92 degrees in blazing sun is kinda warm too. It just about killed me. GOD, I used to do this with ease. Still, I did manage to do some good. I use a long handled edger, sorta like a hoe without the bend to the blade. It is heavy enough to have enough momentum to do the job with one push. In this warmer than bath water the barnacles grow to eating size very fast. Hours later, I am STILL guzzling cold water to replace what I lost laying on that dock. |
