Strong measures required. F suggested this yesterday but A resisted. Decided to hire a pressure washer. Back to F’s bestie, one of Four Jays and hired one for the day. The dribble was suitably turned into a forceful spray which cleaned the decks and flushed out lots of grit and dust from all the fittings.

Another issue with where we are, the boat is not level or even tilting slightly backwards- our preferred position to allow for drainage. She is tilting forwards, so the duck boards in the cockpit were soon submerged. Worse still, the auto helm compartment filled up too. So A on hands and knees mopping out with a sponge. Not great. Gave up at that point. Duck boards removed and treated on the ground with 2 part teak cleaner. Some of the 3 1/2 years of grime has now been removed.
