Rob, check out this PR piece on a clear polymer wax that's supposed to be
anti-fouling and prevent blistering. It's by a company called Aurora. Maybe
it's a good alternative to the traditional bottom paint we discussed
yesterday.

They also have a new (read: hard to find) product called Sure Step, which is
a wax that you use on the non-skid areas of our deck. It's a polymer that's
slippery normally, but gets "grippy" if you put your weight on it. Sounds
like magic.
