Out with the dirt....in clean fresh hulls and stuff

We have finally started to give Grey Hound her a fresh water bath, her first real cleaning since last fall.  Most everything has been pulled out of the boat and Anne has the inside looking like new!  She can even get my stains out of the cushions!  The "Y" valve is now operational and nothing has been put back on board unless we deem it worth putting back on.  It's amazing how much "stuff" one accumulates over the coarse of a year living on a boat.  Jeff, the Super Sucker isn't going back on the boat.  It makes too much noise and and doesn't work worth it's weight!

The daggerboard has been pulled, scrubbed and new bottom paint is going on tomorrow.  Same with the rudder.   We have Woody waxed the nonskid and she is starting to look like new again.




Today is "Woody Wax the hulls" day......hopefully 3 coats on the whole boat.
