Turns out to be wave after wave of rain showers and 58.

They cannot even get it right 18 hours in advance! Washed out
today.........no working on the boat. ;-(


Down to wash the boat today and prep for a long outing next weekend.
I'm going to be trying out a new type of boat cleaner that is non-
detergent and consists of all natural
citrus and vegetable oils. We're battling the state and local
governments over the use of "soap" when washing boats and there is
some preliminary indication that this new formulation *might* get the
tacit approval of at least the city regulators. I got one of the first
half-dozen or so sample jugs from a new local distributor so it will
be interesting to see if and how well this stuff works. I just hope it
doesn't dissolve paint. :-)

Slight overcast and will get to be 70 in Seattle today, but currently
blowing pretty hard. It's possible to work on the boat year around
when in covered moorage, but you can't varnish when it's less than
about 50-degrees and expect good results.
