There is NEVER
any real need to scrape barnacles provided you re-new your anti-fouling
annually.

I recommend that you scrape together enough nickels for a multi-season
paint, Neal.

Your comment proves you are a mere lubber. What does multi-season paint
really mean? It means it MIGHT work for a couple of years provided you
haul out and store your boat for half the year like all typical lubbers.
We real sailors sail our boats the entire year around and the boat is
never on the hard for six or more months at a time.

I don't care how much money you spend for bottom paint, here in the
tropics, where we real sailors live and sail, paint only lasts a year
before the barnacles start to attach themselves and grow. On an ocean
voyage (oops, sorry, I guess you've never done that, huh?) at a certain
time of year, gooseneck barnacles can attach themselves and grow within
mere months of applying new premium bottom paint. Probably even that
has-been old chap, what's his name again?? Oh yah, Bruce at the Bangkok
Dock! Even he probably knows this much as he did manage to make it half
way around before he chickened out because he couldn't handle or afford
the overly large pig of a boat he has and still has because nobody will
buy it because it's such a derelict-looking mess.

Sure you are, Gregory! You don't fool anybody as usual. The least you could
do is forge the headers so the NSP's are the same at least. Doh!
