Initial Uncovering

So Now that you're up to speed, here's the initial uncovering from storage.

First off, the boat's dirty! Black streaks all over it from the mooring cover. No problem, those clean off real easy!
3M Black Streak Remover. $10/bottle! Good Stuff

Secondly, the vinyl cockpit cover's gotta go. It's definitely seen better days, and hasn't been taken care of during it's time in the sun. It doesn't fit anymore, it's covered with dirt that won't come off, and it's beginning to crack in places.
So this is on the list of things to replace this year.

Now comes the initial opening. Remember that scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when they finally open the ark and all hell breaks loose? I'm always prepared for the worst. First thing I see is this,
Sundeck's a little dirty, but no big deal!

Peeling back the cover more reveals what I didn't expect...
Oh Shit... MOLD!

And it's growing everywhere!
