First things First



"Scrub the Deck ye scurvy dawgs"

The Ninja had spent a few years mouldering in someones back yard before I acquired it, and as such, was FILTHY.

Nothing however, that truck wash and a bit of elbow grease can't fix.

The XO (otherwise known as the Hubby) suggested that gurneying the muck off would be the way to go, but using a sponge and brush means that you can feel 'soggy'and 'snagy' spots that you might otherwise miss with the naked eye.

Sadly, some great pieces of rigging had also been left exposed to the elements, the sheets and lanyards were sandpaper rough and covered in mould - out they go (sunlight, salt water and the chemicals in detergents degrade ropes integrity) to the spares bucket.
