Gotta Get the Boat Ready Part 2

We really didn't have much help today, just the two of us!
We cleaned the deck area free from whirlygigs and much left over winter dirt & dust.  Don moved the all chain rode to a nearby cart and brought the Chesapeake rode (50' of chain and 100' of 5/8" nylon) into the anchor well.  He cleaned everything and lubed the windless for another season.  The 300+lbs. chain rode weighed down the wagon quite a bit on the way home.  Sue was the happy hoser washing the entire deck. Together we cleaned out the quarterberth locker and found items we thought we lost.  We removed from the engine area most of the old crumbing sound deadening material and tomorrow we'll mount new stuff.  We have to take a run at sanding some of the areas of the bottom and painting spots before a full coat.  Don will install the feathering propeller that was rebuilt over the winter months.  We had great weather the last few days to get working on Jubilee.
