Yippee! They have begun working on my hull. #boating #BoatMaintenance

The chances of me being able to do any work cleaning, compounding, and waxing the boat's red gelcoat over the next three days is slim to none, although I've been thinking about scrubbing the swim platform and letting the rain rinse it off.

Meanwhile, the yard boss should be back at work today and I can talk to him about the work that needs to be done on the hull. I suspect that his guys are used to working in the rain. #BoatMaintenance (2/3)

I got the anchor locker cleaned and the rope portion of the rode marked and put away. Now I just need to mark the chain and get that in the locker. I might need to call a neighbor over to help; I don't want the windlass pulling the chain up against the bow of the boat and I can't be in two places at the same time. A neighbor with a good pair of gloves can keep the chain away from the boat as the windlass cranks it in. #BoatMaintenance #boating #AnchorsAway

All of my boat's dishes just fit in the dishwasher. I'm going to try the quick wash cycle, which I've never used before. Apparently it only takes an hour; the normal cycle takes 2 1/2. #boating #maintenance #BoatMaintenance #KeepItClean

One of the things I do every year is wash all of my boat's dock lines. I just throw them in the washer with warm water and a little bit of clothes soap. They spin so well that they're pretty much dry when I pull them out. #boating #maintenance #BoatMaintenance

Video: What’s Under the Waterline on a Ranger Tug R-29 CB?

Ever wonder what’s under the waterline on a Great Loop veteran boat? Here’s what mine looks like right now.

Well, I’ve scraped the barnacles and mussels off the trim tabs and underwater lights. Still lots of residue. I think I might have to sand it all.

I hate sanding.
