It ain't going to dry out at sea. It ain't even going to dry out at the dock. If it is as bad as you make it sound, cutting it out and laminating new wood in is the ONLY cure.

I, myself, personally intend to continue being outspoken, opinionated, intolerant of all fanatics, fools and ignoramuses, deeply suspicious of all those who have "found the answer" and on my bad days, downright rude.
