Well, I made the effort and me and the Bosun went to the boat yesterday intent on doing something to start getting into the spirit for the season ahead.
End result after 1 Ginsters Cornish Pasty ( BOGOF at Sainsburys). a mug of Chicken Bovril and about 4 hours solid graft with a pressure washer was a much cleaner looking boat and a very wet dog and skipper - but I did feel mildly self righteous as I paid my few quid for occasional leccy and though of the mass of dosh that N_R had handed over to someone else instead of doing it himself !
Thank God for pressure washers - whatever did we do without them? In particular, the way the teak deckrails have cleaned up is quite remarkable.
Had a brief word with Dogsbody and the Silver Dragon crew as I was leaving - Ramage and co. even went out for a brief trip during the afternoon The river was in pretty good flow- 3-4 knots I reckon - but with Rebellion on the helm did a prety good job coming back into the marina.
