Bottom Paint Life On The Hard?

What is the experience for bottom paint life during storage on the hard? I had a bottom job (primer plus two coats of tropical antifouling) done last winter prior to leaving the shipyard in Honduras. We then cruised Honduras, Belize and Mexico for four months, then altered our destination plans due to the oil spill and hauled out in May for hurricane season storage at Puerto Isla Mujeres. The bottom paint looked perfect at haul out. We'll return to our boat (JAMU, a Leopard 42) in January to relaunch and cruise through May. I am wondering if weathering in the Caribbean sun will have diminished the bottom paint appreciably? I'll judge when I get there, of course, but I'd appreciate any related experience.
