I need it just as much as any...

Re: Barnacle removal without scraping

Re: Barnacle removal without scraping

Back in the '70's/'80's I saw the same thing happen at the mouth of the Sammamish Slough.
I lived a mile up the slough and when taking my little power boat out the mouth into Lake Washington, there...
