Before leaving Martinique I needed to clean the bottom, prop and keel cooler. Since I had been stung badly by hydroids while doing the same thing in Dominica about a month ago I decided to wear my dive skin. Spent about 30 minutes under the boat using our dive hookah setup. Some barnacles under the keel and scattered around on the hull, some growth on the heel shoe and buildup on the keel cooler and prop. Got everything cleaned up then surfaced and climbed up on the transom.
I had large spots of sea ants all over the dive skin - more than we have ever seen before. Luckily though no stings or bites - some sea ants took residence in my hair and mustache though!
