Waxing Away the Time

We spent the day washing, waxing and polishing Foreign Affair.  It is amazing how quickly salt, water and the sun attack everything.  We are continuously doing something to maintain the boat. Washing and waxing the hull takes 16 - 20 hours and is divided into 4 or 5 days of work.  The deck and cockpit take about as much time.  Carla does the deck and tries to do a little every few days. Dwayne does the hull when we lay over in a marina for an extended stay.  Carla is always working on the interior.  So far, mildew has not been as much of a problem in Key West as it was in St. Augustine.  We keep the hatches open and get good ventilation.  It hasn't rained here like it did in St. Augustine.  The dinghy is getting some TLC, as well as, the outboard motor.
