Cleaning out the interior

08 January 2006 | St. Michaels, MD
Well, I went back to the boat today after buying it yesterday. We had a lot of cleaning to do. Using a mixture of water, dish detergent, and bleach, we scrubbed down just about every surface in the boat. It's looking a lot nicer. Here are some updated photos:

I didn't get any pictures of the mud dauber nests that were found in all kinds of odd spots. I plan to try to block off all the holes that those bugs can get into this season.
As I was leaving I took this slightly blurry photo as the sun was setting.

The next project is to refinish the teak.

I'm also interested in meeting new people in the area, especially people in my age range since I hardly know any that sail.
