Cleaning the inside of Kingsley.

   OK, so it took a little bit to get our new Hunter sailboat Kingsley looking this good (you're welcome Kingsley). Our two best friends throughout the initial cleaning were/are Simple Green and a wet/dry shop-vac. We decided to work on the inside first since we are planning to move aboard ASAP.
   Below are a few pics of what we're dealing with...probably about 11 years of dog fur, moisture, a little mold, a little oil, and rust. Not too bad, but it still took (is taking) a lot of work to get her in shape. Clean your boats people!

Aft cabin, beneath our bed

Storage under the seat in the salon - apparently a great place to throw half empty oil containers.

Lots of green.

Bilge.

   So, you get the idea...it could be worse as boats go...but still icky. Here's a few post-cleaning pictures of the salon to cleanse the palate. The aft cabin, galley, head, and salon are finished. Up next: the V=berth and then we move up to the cockpit and deck!
