De Winterising and getting ready for the season.

[Mal Thomas]

Three visits to the boat over the last few days with Mould spray and lots of kitchen roll in hand, the black mould this year in the cabin was very ugly. Re sorted all life jackets, Dan buoy, throw ropes, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, flooring and mats all had mould on them.  I can report HG mould spray is better than bleach. It was a bit of a grind, but gradually I enjoyed the process, looking forward to the season.

Then it was the turn of the tackle box, oh no! Note to self, don't but any more hooks, sidewinders, slow jigs, line, swivels, clips or any terminal tackle and I think six pairs of scissors is  perhaps excessive. The tackle shop is off limits. How many of you are agreeing?

Engine serviced, diesel tank for the heater filled, radio checked, knives sharpened, decks scrubbed and now I am ready to be dropped back in.

Are you all ready for the new season and the February meeting, I am looking forward to seeing you all and serving another year as your chairman.

Well done Mal

 

All that effort will be worth it.

 

We all carry far to much kit and tackle, but 6 pairs of scissors, may be a tad over the top.
