Boat Painting Pt II

I think I may have made the lobster boat painting story a tad too romantic.

You had to paint the bottom of the boat as well.

We used high-tech ablative paint, the only thing that would kill barnacles, adventurous clams and such.

We wore no masks.  We cleaned up by pushing our hands around in the cove. The EPA hadn't even been invented.

Ablative paint is really toxic.  Why you may ask?: It busily kills life forms.

All I know is that it is 50 years later.  My hands haven't fallen off.  My lungs seem to still work properly.

Curmudgeons are made of sterner stuff.
