The Boat is Clean!

The weather was sunny and so we decided to pull the boat out and clean the bottom. Quite a big job but now it's over and the boat is looking cleaner. The bottom will never again be factory clean because the lake water turns it orange and a lot of plants try to grow on it too, see the photo. Andrew gets the most difficult job of cleaning the bottom on his back using a creeper. I scrub the engine with a toothbrush and then clean the interior. As usual I got a chunk of skin removed while cleaning the propeller - it is super sharp and it cuts wet skin like butter. The boat is ready for its season-end servicing and then storage until next spring. This winter we will be spraying on a monthly basis for ants and other bugs. Hopefully we will avoid the ant invasion we had this year.
