Dammit man, the bilge is cleaner than the deck. I subscribed thinking you had a miracle cure for bilge cleaning. I got busy with a toilet brush and some purple cleaner before the last event. Still waiting for the skin to grow back on my knuckles.

I usually mix up a bucket of water with some dawn dish soap, disable my float switch and go riding for a day. The dawn swishing around in the bilge breaks up a lot of the crud.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
