Paddling Hands?

[dgax65]

That used to happen to me when I was regularly paddling several days a week. When my hands are subjected to prolonged immersion the top layers of skin slough off. It mostly happens at the points of contact with the paddle shaft. I think some people's skin is just more susceptible to this than others. It made starting up my work laptop a pain in the ass. Sometimes it would lock me out before I could get a good fingerprint read.

As annoying as the the peeling hands was, the chronic monkey-butt was worse. I sure do miss that OK Drifter. Nothing like sitting in a couple of inches of cold seawater for hours on end.
