Monday, September 3, 2007 - Frog Mortar Creek

Dora and I used John’s small hoist attached to his dock to take our dinghy out of the water to wash it’s bottom. We pulled the engine first and laid it in the grass and then lifted the dinghy. The bottom was filthy, covered with a thick layer of brown slime and algae. It took us a couple of hours to scrub and scrape most of it off. The dinghy had been in the water continuously for about a month without bottom paint. We won’t leave it in the water that long again. Later we washed Barry and Barb’s PT Cruiser.
