When you have a boat, it's a constant set of chores to do. Rod does most of them preparing for the trip, but sooner or later we have to all pitch in. Today is a "deep clean" day where we wash down the decks, wash and disinfect the heads, etc. That took all morning to do and thuogh I make it sound like a big deal, it really isn't all that hard.
We started with the outside decks working together - Rod rinsing, me scrubbing. It's amazing how dirty the decks can be and not look all that dirty. Maybe the dirt is the same colour as the wood.
Once done with the topside, we went into the salon where we split up. Rod working on the galley, I did the head. Cleaning the head is mostly a case of going over the entire surface with bleach-infused water, making sure to get into nooks and crannies, to kill any germs or things that might be growing.
Cleaning done, we headed of to the SuperStore to do the actual provisioning for the rest of the trip and, coincidentally, acquiring victuals to make lunch for ourselves rather than pay a restaurant for it. Tonight, though that will be a restaurant meal.
Dinner was next door to the "bad service" restaurant from last night. The meal was better, though quite a bit more expensive, and the service was acceptable. We declined dessert as both of us were feeling full and we had pie waiting for us back at Quijote.
One last trip to the SuperStore and we're all set for a "crack of dawn" departure because it's a long day tomorrow (50+ miles)
