Cleaning the bottom last week while in the water really helped. The few spots I missed were easily taken care of once on the trailer. The "brown tide" we've had here the last two months left an ugly yellow stain on the hull, but some Atwood Hull Cleaner took care of that - as you can see in the above photo, the hull is a crispy white once again.
The anchor locker was pretty skanky. I unloaded the anchor and rode and flushed it all with fresh water, then ran it through some fabric softener in a bucket. Feels like brand new. That makes a difference when going through the windlass. With the locker empty, I washed it down with bleach water and scrubbed it; not as squeaky clean as new, but much better.
I started waxing the boat. Only got the top done before the rain started. A few things to empty out of the cabin, dump the fresh water tank, change the oil and filters, and she's ready to go into indoor storage for a while.
