That's what the pressure washers are for! I wonder if my little
electric 1450 psi would be powerful enough?

I'm still operating under what may be an old wive's tale, that pressure
washers permeate the gel coat and soak the fiberglass underneath. I
don't know if that is true, but it has kept me from ever using a
pressure washer on any boat.


I do use a brush with a four foot handle. It's perfect for most of the
boat except the little nooks & crannies around the companionway hatch
cover & the handholds on the coachtop. Smithers scum would be an
emergency case and might require drastic measures.

Here's the fisherman's marina where I typically launch Yo-Ho. It's late
in the season but there still are a couple of hundred trailerboats
there, plus the slipped boats.

I've got some oily scum to dispose of also. I bought one of the large
tubs (not as tall as a 77 liter garbage can but slightly wide) so I
could run my 6 hp at home in the driveway. Now how do I dispose of the
slightly oily water? I might have to but one of those special sponges
you keep in your bilge.
note: I can't use the earmuffs on my outboard because of the intake
position

That's quite the crowded marina. Must be fun finding your slip on a
dark night.

Don,
I wish you and Harry would not carry on conversations concerning me, without
my permission. ; )

Thank you for admitting you are Smithers!

Don,
Did I give you permission to talk to me? ; )

With Dubya, that would be American Idle.


That's a good 'un!

Slight chop this morning, but it was building up when I got back to the
marina. Bit warm and muggy, though. Didn't take any photos of houses,
though. Didn't fish, either.


I was thinking of sailing down our Northwest Arm and taking pictures of
all the nice houses on the bank. I could then post them here for the
enjoyment of all.

Yeah, I think if I go fishing on Lanier, I'll take some pictures of the
largest houses and post them here for everyone to see. I understand
that it really helps with a deflated ego.

You would make many of us happy by posting the pictures you have of your Moto
Guzzi Desmo! Surely you took pictures of your bike!!
