Our Bottom Is Clean, Clean, Clean!

TUESDAY- 100% rain and strong winds with 30 mph gusts are expected tomorrow so Capt. Mike arranged for Sea Dream to be hauled today for her first bottom wash and zincs inspection since early May. To our relief and pleasant surprise, the bottom was clean as a whistle, with no barnacles and only a slight slim film. Amazingly, the props were clean, too, thanks to the “Prop Speed” coating. Mike changed the zincs that were about 60% gone.
After our bottom cleaning, we returned to the fuel dock to pump out then to a face dock for quick departure when weather permits.
Louis had an early appointment at "Hair Off the Dog” while I made one last grocery run. Mike continued his boat projects and prepared the engine room. I also stripped the bed and washed the sheets. The washer & dryer aboard are such a convenience.
Weather probably won't allow us to leave tomorrow but Thursday should be better. Check our Spot to see if we leave.
We'll make one last trip this evening to our favorite Italian Bakery with good friends Julie, Bob and Snickers for an ice cream in Canton. We've had such a good time in Baltimore and will miss it.
