    Try anchoring on a river with nothing but fresh water. Works for worms anyway. Tim

      I think you'll want to clean your bottomsides a lot more frequently than
      every few months in the tropics. My experience at lat 20, in Mexico and
      Hawaii, was that if I wasn't doing a lot of sailing and waited much more
      than a month, cleaning the bottom became a pretty big job. I was amazed to
      see how much slime had already started to form after just one week in Radio
      Bay (Hilo).

      Cheers,
