[Alberg30] Anti-fouling - Ocean grade.

[George Dinwiddie]

I've switched to an ablative paint, too--first Pettit ACP-50 and then 
Micron CSC.  We've still got some Trinidad (most of a gallon, a full 
unopened quart, and a small bit left in another quart) if you're 
interested in it as you come down the waterway.
