Cleaned this gritty dirt from the Shade Hotel construction off the boat, but not all of it came off. It will probably take a more serious clean or wax. In fact, a few of us on the dock are trying to get the construction managing company to actually take responsibility. Doubtful, they claim that it wasn’t from them even though they admitted that nobody worked Sunday and Labor Day Monday therefor never watered the dirt which likely cause it to blow into the marina. Whatever I can clean the boat if necessary, the real frustration came when I went sailing and unfurled the jib to notice that the 1/3 of the sail closest to the cover edge is just dirt brown, clearly dirt and grit and dust that settled in between the furled sail. Annoying.
Other than that, the water was lake-flat and the wind light for a comfortable sail, the engine is running well, I fixed my dehumidifier because it shook a bolt loose, ordered a new windex wind vane because the old one is missing, decided to order an anchor light and just go up the mast (maybe next weekend). Sunday we anchored in the channel to beat the heat and then had to leave because they were shutting off the power all night into Monday morning. Can’t sleep without the fan running when it’s 81 degrees inside the boat. I’ve been sick for a week so it was nice to get fresh air all weekend.
Also, sprayed the boat with a bug/spider killing “fogger” because Mia and I were repeatedly bit Friday and Saturday night by something, at 3am we just grabbed a sleeping bag and blankets and I rigged up shade for when the sun came up and we slept there.
