Oh man, what a chore. Should've been done long ago. Two hours in the water with a 3 inch scaper blade. I think I got rid of 95% of all the barnacles. I'll finish up this week of the 14th. Shouldn't be much more work.
Damage done: huge hot spot on my heels where barnacle grit fell into my flippers and chafed against my Calcaneus. Deaf in my left ear due to water intrusion. Banged up knuckles where the barnies ate thru my chain mail glove.
Other than that, good clean fun. It was a relief being in the water instead of sweating thru yet another hot sun/high humidity day.
