DINGHY DETAILED!!


We have had a problem with the mold on our dinghy not coming off and breeding ground for more and more. Florida is not kind to her. 





The two pictures above are the BEFORE. See below the transformation! Now, we will see how it lasts in Bahamas, this paint had good reviews.






Yoga mat is a great non-skid that we adhere to the parts of the dinghy that is slippery when wet (which is too often).





There is probably enough yoga mat for me to do yoga! Ha ha ha, just kidding, I don't do yoga. We will use it for lining a drawer or something. 

Our dinghy is our "car"! We don't like using a beat up old clunker down there, Engine is fantastic, so a new paint job is all it needed.

PAINTING A DINGHY?

PAINTING A DINGHY?? Be honest have you heard of this before? We have had the paint on board. Our poor dinghy (our car in the Bahamas) is in need of TLC. It looks awful, mold has seeped in and grows and grows. No amount of cleaning supplies has helped. To get one more year out of our "car", we are painting it today!


MOLD




Paul did one coat and looked pretty good. Will post tomorrow when two coats on the whole dinghy. It is amazing paint and went on well. The blue tape preparation was the real work (me for a lot of it), just kidding. 





See this awesome handle on our boat.... it was just installed! I don't know what we did beforehand.... wait, I do remember, I fell once on the dock! Paul bought for my birthday along with the cool set of drawers, see below. We actually have room in our stateroom for this. And believe or not, the top drawer is empty! 


Many boats arriving for the winter season, including this regular fishing boat. He is ready to go out for the day with his captain on board. Gulf Stream fishing needs a license (Florida), I think next year we should get one.
