Removing the Moustache


We are on a facing dock at the main entrance to the marina.  Our neighbors are all hard at work cleaning and polishing.  Foreign Affair looks neglected and stands out with her ICW moustache.  Wanting to be a good neighbor and not appear to be the local derelict, we spent the day cleaning Foreign Affair.  Carla worked on the deck and cockpit.  Dwayne worked deck down cleaning the hull and removing the ICW moustache.  The moustache is the result of tannins in the waters of Virginia and the Carolinas. Fortunately, FSR (Fiberglass Stain Remover) does a pretty good job of removing the moustache.

Carla broke her fibula near the ankle when she  missed a step and fell as she exited the Boater's Lounge after taking her shower. We got the marina's courtesy car and headed to the Flagler Hospital ER.  We were back on the boat four hours later (three hours at the hospital and one hour getting cold packs for Carla and provisions for the boat).  Six to eight weeks for recovery. She should be pretty well healed up by the time we leave St. Augustine.
