Darn Dirty Dinghy Bottom

Another week, another chore. Aint life grand!
This week i did some bike riding.  Watched afternoon storms pile up and shower for our daily cooling in the late part of the day.  I ran across - again - the crew of the Treasure Hunters celebrating finding an old bronze canon.  (John Brandon)  I asked them if I could take their picture, that i wanted to show my friends 'the Treasure Hunters.'  John Brandon spoke up, "we are NOT treasure hunters.  We are Treasure Finders!"  So, it was a typical week here.  Then i finally pulled the dinghy back out of the water and found my menagerie of sea life.  I worked all day out in the sun to get it cleaned.  #Hot.

DIRTY DINGHY BOTTOMoperation forest clear cut.

I dropped the dinghy down into the water on July 10th, so 'if a storm hit' while i was out of town the dinghy and arch would not get damaged.  Then i left it in the water.  (mistake)  This growth is from 7/10-8/15th.  About a month and i grew an entire new aquatic system.  Shrimp, minnows, crabs along with lots of plants and slimy colored goo all together in a Sea Condo under my dinghy.  Yuck!









The SMELL was pungent and unpleasant.  (imagine week old shrimp tail trash)





I hope your bottom is clean!
