Every fall when we return to the boat, we have adding a salt water washdown pump on our To Do list. And every fall, other priorities take over and the washdown pump always gets pushed back. You'd think we'd learn!
Every time we anchor in a muddy/clay/sticky anchorage, David hauls the bucket with the rope to the bow and it takes us forever to get the anchor up while he rinses with the bucket as best he can.
Then every spring when we get back to the marina, we spend a half a day removing the chain from the anchor locker, scrubbing the chain, scrubbing out the anchor locker, the path to the bilge and then the bilge. I guess it means at least once a year our bilge gets cleaned and dried and that's good.
In the meantime, the saltwater washdown pump is back on our To Do list for October 2013 ... any bets on whether we have a washdown pump next winter? :)
