On Sunday, I made my way back to the Ripple in the late afternoon to continue cleaning out the interior. I had left the boat a bit of disaster on Saturday evening, and my conscience wasn't going to let me leave it that way for long...

More cleaning!

After working my way through most of the cabinets, I started onto the wood with some Old English Lemon Oil. That stuff always reminds me of being a kid in a kinda funny way. My mom would occasionally assign me the chore of polishing a bunch of wood furniture in our house. As a kid, I of course hated the task. But as an adult, I consider it one of the most satisfying cleaning tasks ever! It makes everything so shiny (and smell like lemons!)

I made my way through the v-birth and hanging closet. When I have the rest of the cabin done, I'll share some nice glorious pictures of the end result. One of the things that really drew me to this boat was all the wood in the interior. I think it's going to look amazing once it's all freshly oiled.
As a nice surprise, my neighbor Steve came and knocked on my hull a bit later and invited me to join him and a friend who were cooking up a roast on his boat. So after 4 hours of cleaning, I went and hung out with them for a few hours. Such a friendly marina! Loving it.
