Cleaning Seas The Day and a VSC

 

This weekend, Boatus Cleanus awoke from her winter slumber and returned to Seas The Day with a vengeance (against dirt).  I had been swabbing the decks for the past month or so, so she was "George clean" which cleary isn't "Vicky clean".  ALL nooks and crannies were shined up (even the line locker).

Line locker is spic 'n span!

The lines are back in place, stowed neatly.
(Yes, that is neat... we have to be able to run out certain
lines quickly when needed.)

Later Saturday afternoon, a member of the Main Line Power Squadron stopped by to do my US Coast Guard Vessel Safety Check (VSC).  Seas The Day passed and a sticker was awarded.  The sticker (placed on the port side of the mast) is supposed to ward off evil spirits like coast guard and law enforcement patrols (letting them know that everything checked out and they can move onto another vessel).

We actually did not go out this weekend.  After her cleaning frenzy, Vicky went to bed and slept for 12 hours.  I grabbed dinner at the pool bar.  Since my workplace has a company-wide shutdown next week and we will be sailing a lot, we decided to head home on Sunday.
