Cleaning, cleaning....

We made a lot of progress cleaning our mildewed boat yesterday, but today was steady rain.  That means no open ports.  The tilex we're using is  just too strong to use in the closed boat.  So, we did a little here and there, went to town for a bit, and finally when the rain stopped, went into frantic cleaning mode.

Believe it or not, THIS qualifies as "a lot better" than shortly after we got here.  We have had to stack and stage a lot of stuff on our bed (sleeping on the smaller "guest" bed).  It was easy to put a clean sheet on it and then pile on a lot of our stuff.   Those awful rags have been washed and dried, but still are slightly damp. Luke did a lot of work, thoroughly cleaning all of one side of the bedroom, plus applying mildew inhibitor to all of the wood surfaces You can't see them, but there are drawers, cubbies, and closets that all had to be done both inside and out.  He'll be doing the other side tomorrow.  Definitely still a work in process, but the next few days are forecast to be warmer and SUNNY! - so we can leave the ports open for ventilation.

Now, the galley - that's a different story!  You've gotta be able to eat, so it IS clean!  Definitely have to have our priorities straight. I'll take credit for this area!

Hopefully we'll have the interior cleaning done in a few more days, and then we can concentrate on the usual spring outside cleaning and checking of the equipment.  We still have the bathrooms and salon area to clean.  We will be glad to be in the water again.
