And the cleaning begins!

Oh man!!! Our boat is dirty, inside and outside. We thought the deck was bad (and it was) but then we went inside. It was a bit shocking to see how much mold there was inside the boat. Pretty much every surface has some mold (white not black).

We started off cleaning the exterior (got to start somewhere) – washing the deck and other dirty objects on the deck. It basically took us most of the day to do the top side. There was a lot of debris on the deck – it looked like old leaves mostly. After lots of scrubbing and hosing down, the deck and cockpit look pretty good.

We decided to take it easy today and quit working around 3pm. We spent a bit of time chatting with Jane and Steve Holler. We met them during our last season at Reynolds and they’ve become good friends. They got down here over 2 weeks ago and their boat looks great!! Gives me hope that Crimson Kathryn will eventually make her way back to looking great! It will definitely take some work to get her ship shape again.

First job – take off the turquoise shade thingy.
Dirty deck and cockpit! Check out the green!!
Green deck before washing!
And after washing!
We’re happy to be back on board (even if it’s really dirty).
The cockpit is looking better!
“Oh man! Why did we get such a big boat?”
