    Don,
     You made it to NW Wisconsin..been very quiet until now. Everybody must
    be paging through their new West Marine catalogs, trying to find the
    solution to a few problems on their respective boats.

      I'll pose a question for all to ponder and help me out with. I'm
    removing 17 years worth of Micron CSC bottom paint..mostly ablated
    already, thru use and also a power washer. I now have a evenly brown
    and beige bottom, truly ugly. I am considering a sand blaster rental,
    using crushed shells or??? Is this a good idea, or would some other
    method be better? (One ocncern for me is that I am recovering from a
    torn rotator cuff from a shoulder dislocation, so have little upper arm
    strength now, but it is coming back gradually -this goofs up using a
    large right angle grinder on the remaining brown bottom paint for any
    lengths of time)

       What material is readily available and sufficiently gentle to get the
    old paint off, but not remove the gel coat under normal use.
    I was thinking of using a sharp scraper on a wooden extension handle,
    might be hard in my situation, but possible.

    Cheers on the 2007 Season! Let it begin
