Solar Fry suggested wax, specifically Overton's super slick wax, for a
short -term antifouling solution. I haven't been able to locate this wax in
a catalog. However, I have located another wax: Boat Armor "Easy ON' soft
wax suggested for low-fouling areas. Would this do for a week in Florida's
waters?

Also, anybody have information/opinions about Apalachicola Bay as a Potter
14 sailing destination? It appears to be large, sheltered and uncrowded.
