Nice gaff shot. The oil at the surface is from natural seepage from the canyon. When the winds are down, or just in your direction, it can get pretty thick at times.

Thanks, learned something new.

Thought it was from a boat. Smelled just like the fuel that a broken down boat dumped in the marina last year.

Yeah, that stuff is nasty, I find myself cleaning it off my kayak at least 1-2 out of 3 trips.

What do you use?

I made a mistake and left it for a week last time. Simple green wouldnt take it off. Had to use most of a can of Dupont motorcycle chain degreaser.

Finding out it's natural is interesting. Still annoying though lol

Its 27.5" plus or minus .5"

Measured with my straight edge. I knew it wasn't breaking any records so I was too lazy to bring out the tape haha

I usually let it dry up pretty good, and it will chip right off. If you want to tackle cleaning it before that WD40 works pretty well (just requires a bit more elbow grease).
