My 11mm bluewater is very dry lately. Of course it's in a heated basement, and being Winter it's a dry environment. I uncoiled it and washed it and put it in a rope bag. It's about 4 years old and in pretty good shape. When comparing it to my younger PMI it seems dry, and stiff.
Should I be concerned about that? Perhaps this is a dumb question......but it's best to ask around.
