Thank you very much for this article. I seem to always have too many different kinds of detergent lying around. Now I am going to consolidate and just use the Dawn Platinum along with several of those nifty little sprayers. You have simplified my life. Keep up the good work. Thanks you!
Dawn is incredible Cap'n. Most of the fellows who read this article will go overboard and add wayyyyy too much Dawn to the bottle. I hope folks will follow the amounts though many will go with the "more is better" option. That is not true for this spray concoction however...!
You mentioned buying lots of specialty cleaners. I've done that too. I probably should pen an article about how few cleansers are Actually required. That said, I have in the past been swayed by advertising and purchased fancy single-use cleaners. I got rid of them a few years back.
NEVER ever combine cleaners. However if you have old ones hanging around either dispose of them or use them for projects where results don't matter. I tend to get rid of the container.
Living aboard is a blessing. I do not have room to keep every mistake I have ever purchased. Though I would like to pass along things I no longer need, the primary goal is to get the extraneous off Seaweed. Waterline issues are always of concern. If I can pass along things, great. If not? Well, my job is not to hold on to every item that comes into my hands. I simply cannot do that.
Thank you Sir for your comment. It is appreciated. Stay warm, and have a great day. J.
Hi, Janice, from the frozen tundra (3 degrees, and "feels like" minus 9. Fortunately, I get to be indoors! 😊
I've been worried about you Pam. (wipes brow) (puts away cookies)
I've been trying to figure out my Christmas card inserts. Apparently anything thick costs nearly $5 for a "Small package" and that's for something small. I paid nearly five dollars to mail a 2 ounce envelope to my grand. GRRRR!
So I think I have something that will mail as an envelope. I am making a tester and will check if I can mail my little ornaments to friends. Frankly the $$$ is disappointing. I can send cards however I really love sharing the chart ornaments. Anyway... that's my life.
I am so glad you are okay. That's stinking cold. The coldest I've ever been at anchor was in the St Marys River (Florida/Georgia border) when it was 21 degrees. My 12v electric blanket was a big help. Back then I used a catalytic heater. Aboard Seaweed that was adequate. The waters were warm, and that makes a difference too.
Do stay warm. And thanks for getting in touch. Your friend in the south, J.
