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 BOTTOM - operation 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!
