The growth on the prop was likely because yoru boat never leaves the
mooring :)

Will be interesting to see bottom of Nut Case next week.  We have used
VC Offshore prev two Fall seasons in Halifax and Micron CSC this year -
judging from rudder the micron seems better suited for NW Arm

Last race for Nut Case tommorrow.  Lots of wet and lots of wind
forecast.

Because of excessive mussel growth on my prop and prop shaft the past 
several seasons, this past Spring I tried something new, namely applying

"lanolin" to them....boat was hauled this week and I can report that the

lanolin was not very effective.....there were approx. 3 dozen mussels 
attached to the prop and the prop shaft was covered as well.

On another note, applied Micron 66 antifouling paint to the boat this 
past Spring (have been using Micron CSC for over 12 
years).....absolutely no growth of any kind....and specifically no 
'slime' which is common with the CSC.....the bottom looks like it did 
when it was painted in the Spring and I only applied a very light coat 
of the '66' (actually diluted it approx. 10%)....it is incredible 
antifouling paint.....only regret is that it is not sold in Canada.

And, after 7 sailing seasons, I decided  to check the air filter on the 
Yanmar 2GMF.....took the cover off to discover there was no 'actual 
filter' in the metal casing...ooops!  There will be by next Spring.

Lastly, how often do you guys changedthe impeller in the raw water 
pump?  Not what the specs recommend but actually how often.....every 
year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years?
