T&T: Best sunscreen

[Alec McLocklin (amclockl)]

No kidding...stay in the pilot house. We forget that being on the water
soaks us with the highest levels of UV's due to reflections next to
being on white sand. Plus we are on the water for hours, especially with
a poke along 7 knot trawler. My GB Alaskan only has a pilot house and no
upper bridge. Originally thought I would miss being out there, but in
fact, it's a great experience with all the benefits that of being better
attuned to the boat as a machine.

It never ceases to amaze the many useful things one learns on Trawlers &
Trawlering List!

Four out of five sunscreens and sunblocks on the market are harmful or
inadequate. Wow!

Here's the one-page summary as a PDF file:

Every single sunscreen and sunblock, even name brands such as
Neutrogena, that we had on hand now is in the garbage.

Thanks, Jeff!
