  • Stopped at Home Depot for cleaning supplies: 3 gallon bucket, 1 gallon Clorox bleach, Old English lemon scented wood oil, and an additional small item storage flat
  • Tightened the engine raw water pump belt.
  • Removed everything from the starboard side of the main cabin, including abandoned wires below settee, speaker, and AC wiring at just ahead of the galley,
  • Vacuumed the starboard side of the main cabin.
  • Mixed 2 gallons of hot water, a few good glugs of bleach, and a solid squirt of Joy dish soap.
  • Washed and dried all areas:
    • inside the lockers,
    • outboard of the settee backs,
    • under the settes,
    • inside the drawer,
    • under side of the side decks,
    • inside of cabin wall,
    • overhead,
    • bulkhead shared with hanging locker,
    • galley storage areas,
    • galley counters,
    • stove,
    • aft wall of cabin.
  • The two places not addressed are: wet locker aft of galley, and under the drawer shelf below the forward end of the settee.
  • Did NOT replace the gear, will give the cleaned surfaces time to air before doing so.
  • Found a completely deteriorated Duracell D cell battery in the bilge forward of the line at aft end of the cabin sole. Evidently, the bilge extends forward there some amount. Would bear a bit of a look.
  • Plugged in the ABC123 15 amp battery charger .
