If you hang your dinghy either from davits or “on the hip” with a halyard, don’t forget to remove the drain plug if there’s a chance of monsoon rains.
Luckily it was very warm, so the liquid sunshine felt good. It’s not that I’m lazy, luckily, my arm isn’t long enough to reach the drain plug once the boat’s hanging … 🙂 Dinghy safety is important – click here for some personal dinghy safety tips.
David decided since he was already soaking wet (he changed into swim trunks in preparation for the monsoon), he might as well get at least one coat of boatyard grime off the boat.
Free boatwash!
We enjoy our isenglass curtains keeping our cockpit (aka family room) dry during these days of day after day thunderstorms. If you’re redesigning your cockpit canvas, be sure to read this post with ideas to consider from when we redid ours.
I’m thinking they had 11″ of snow in Chicago last night, liquid sunshine and shorts are just fine!
Stay safe & dry out there! Comments? Please share & let us know what you’re thinking! Cheers! Jan
Been there done that. Had an unexpected 3 inch rain in Ft Lauderdale. Woke up with a full dinghy hanging on the Davits.
