Tethys-
You should open up any "sealed" blisters, but be careful doing it, as the contents can be fairly caustic and under some pressure.
Then you have to grind out the blistered areas and let them dry and then patch and re-fair. Since you're generally doing the repairs with
epoxy, not vinylester or polyester resin, it is usually a good deal more osmosis resistant, since
epoxy is the most waterproof of the resins used in boats.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
