Just spent four hours cleaning the boat of the winter grunge. Wears me out. Start at the bow and work back leaving the cockpit to the last. Belle-Vie shines up nice every year, which makes her good for the season.
An assortment of bristle brushes ranging from a long handled deck for the larger areas, a short handle deck for the smaller areas, a thin hand for small narrow spaces and a few old tooth brushes for the tight spaces the others cannot reach. I've tried our power washer before, but time wise it works out to about the same. There are some black mold spots that the brushes will not remove, but the power washer will. That is for another day.
June 26 is my last day of work for about two months, so some water time is in order. British Columbia for sure. Need to check out False Creek for when my son and his family arrives. They want to do the Capilano Bridge park for starters. Secret Cove, Smuggler Cove, Nanaimo, et al.
Current month of Northwest Yachting has an article on, "Beyond Nakwakto Rapids", that needs a read. Much to see, been by it, but never ventured in. Perhaps this year's sail plan?
