The season is in the beginning stages and cleaning and waxing the boat are paramount to getting ready for launch date May 5
The deck needs to be pressure washed, hull waxed and anti fouling applied.
The weather has not been the best so getting a decent weekend to accomplish all that needs to be done can be somewhat grueling in-itself.
The list of cleaning solutions and the respective use's are long seems when you own a 40 year old boat it takes more time, energy and solutions to keep her clean. From decks, to wood, to pots and pans, ropes, lines and fenders everything and anything needs to be wiped, scrubbed and some done for a second time.
I like the teak oil, it is a twice a year application and like anything on a boat requires some time and care

Tablet is here
Just got a tablet, Motorola 32 gig with the ability to add another 32 gig with an sd card.
I downloaded a few nautical themed apps and will be testing some out and will update the results over the summer.
1) Marine Navigator
2) Nautical Routes
3) Predict Wind
4) Log Book
5) iAIS
I am just learning how to get these working and setup.
Maps will need to be downloaded and then unpacked or placed into the respective directories.
It could prove interesting on how they work and the info that is given and that is actually usable while underway.
