Clean and upgrade day

After an enjoyable sailing period Sunday September 26th was spent cleaning and organizing. We tried using Flitz cleaner for stainless steel. It works like magic to remove tarnish and rust spots.

We also installed six "Boat Savers" from GBG Enterprises, Plymouth MA. Boat savers allow rapid attachment and detachment of fenders from the boat without the need to tie knots. Given that we went into a marina in the summer where we were told to put fenders on the wrong side of the boat, only to find the error when we were a boat's length away from the dock, these will certainly allow rapid redeployment of fenders in the future. Additionally, even with short sails we won't be inclined to leave the fenders on the deck in the future as detachment and reattachment is so simple.
