We used today to clean the boat. At the marina, we have limitless water and electricity - pretty essential for good cleaning! Luke worked in the rain and did a great job of scrubbing off the summer's grime, mold, and other assorted gunk on the topside.
Then he (and I) changed the oil in the boat's engine and the generator. It's a looong job. and done in a smalllll space!
I took on the cockpit, with the steering console and all, plus a good vacuuming/sweeping,. Took forever, but it sure looks better now! I also emptied out the winterizing fluid from our 3 50-gallon water tanks, rinsing them well (about 3 rinses for each tank) and putting a final fill of good, clean water in each. We use the water in our tanks for all of our cooking and drinking as well as showers and cleaning, so we do our best to make sure that it is GOOD water!
It is still gray and drizzling and windy but that is fine. The sun is supposed to finally come out on Friday. I sure hope it does - I miss it!

Why didn't you do all the washing/cleaning/de-winterizing at the boat yard before leaving, rather than paying the marina price in Fernandina Beach?
