Bruce / cool damp and frosty
April 19 th and it still feels like winter! The snow is gone except for the pile left from the kids hill.
We have been planning over the last few weeks. I will be heading down to the boat to take possession and prepare it for the trip.
This will start with a thorough cleaning. The boat hadn't been used much lately and was closed up. No serious damage yet mold and mildew has set in. My first task will be a , remove the floor boards and power spray the boat from Bow to Stern with a good bathroom cleaner.
Next will be a good dry and after a light spray of bleach to stop the growth.
Safety concerns include the complete replacement of flares, life ring, life jackets, regulation placards and noise devices. At least we know where we are starting from.
A full inspection and replacement of parts not working or damaged will follow.
The logistics of the purchase can be over whelming. When to apply for the registration, insurance and where to pay the hst when coming back into the country?
MMMM, more research and planning.
