GOOD HELP IS HARD TO FIND

it looks like my help is looking for help at this point :

Its still a little dark when I get home but I took these pictures last night and didn't see any barnacles, guess I didn't look close enough I wasn't aware of any barnacles until I read RR's thread

scuff it with some scotch brite and put another coat of paint on her. She will be good for another season to tie to the dock

You azz It was tied to the dock most the year because of engine problems And when it was running I wasn't... I was getting over surgery due to a broken zygomatic bone or something or other. Its the cheek bone by your ear that is right before your jaw hinge I had to remain stable for a good while for it to heal Then when ready for crabbing season was in full force my boat wasn't running But it's been to the repair shop and I'm good to go now!! BTW, most the barnacles feel off already, just a few the size of mudbubbles or something on the sides, nothing that you probably can't just pick off or scour off I was picking them off with my hand with no problems

Oh, is that what you people call it nowadays?

That would be your zygomatic arch.... not a great thing to break!!

yeah, that's it It wasn't an easy fix, they had to cut a horizontal slit in my temple and drop a thin metal peice down the side to lift it back up. It completed my Frankenstien look I was aiming for

If you can pick barnacles off with your fingers please be careful picking your nose.







Mudbubbles?

Mudbubbles?

its all dried up and they are coming off easily - probably because it has the anti-fouling?? (the kind that prevents this) paint underneath it It just looks like dried mud with bubbles or something, its a swath of about 3 foot... no barnacle bigger than half an inch if that.
