Cleaning Kya the Dinghy

   At this point I think I'm posting jobs just so I can one day look back and find out what I did all summer. Next on the list: clean our dinghy Kya (Bob Marley song/album reference) (the wife grew up in Jamaica). I would love to get a new sailing dinghy in the future but for now she's all we've got. She wasn't that dirty, just a little boat soap and some scrubbing is all it took.

Above: Kya has these handy metal thingys installed so that they hook on the back of Kingsley (the boat). Although it stores her nice under sail I don't really like it because it blocks access to the back of the boat (future lake swimming because Kingsley's back opens down to the waterline).

Below: A handy way to hold Kya on our dock posts (which we had to rent extra from the marina) while I grabbed the rope to tie her up for real.
