Bill:
Trust me, Mike sails in salt water....not brackish water. Mike and I
are on moorings in the North West Arm where we have lots of salt water
passing by our hulls and we are close to open ocean.
I have used Micron 66 for 3 seasons now after using Micron CSC for 12
years.....the 66 is a more effective paint where we keep our boats....it
does not permit any growth....I would get a 'slime' with the CSC at fall
haulout which was always cleaned with a pressure wash....with the 66,
the bottom does not need the pressure wash.... an unnecessary expense
both to have the pressure wash and to wash away good antifouling paint.
I have enough 66 to do a light coat this season, then I will have to do
something like Mike, ski Sugarloaf, to get my hands on another gallon.
Or go back to CSC.
Mike, do you know Scott MacLeod at our club....a big Beneteau called
'Easy Company'....Scott saw my boat at haulout and has now switched to
66 with great results. Happy skiing you lucky sailor!

Note that Micron 66 is strictly for salt water only. If you spend some
time in brackish water, as well as salt water, you are better off with
Micron Extra.

Thanks Mike
I will be travelling I95 South or #9 from Calais thru bangor then on
to State #2 West at Newport thru Skowhegan to Sugarloaf, Me. Has
been a long time since we skied there. Portland seems a few hours
out of our way and we were hoping to make a quick stop at a store to
buy some paint.
Bob Abbott of Azura has pretty much convinced me to use Micron 66
which we cannot buy in Canada

I will be driving through Bangor later this month and wish to pick up
some paint that I cannot source in Canada. Any suggestions of a
convenient place to get this?
Regards
