1/4/24 – Nanny Cay, Tortola, BVIs

We started the new year out by arriving in the BVIs and seeing our boat. It is great to be back! Splash day is Friday, January 5, 2024 and we have a lot to do before then to put the boat back together. The pictures below are what the boat looks like after two and a half days of cleaning and organizing. Before leaving we seal as much as possible in plastic bags to protect against mold and mildew. I also spray the entire interior of the cabin down with a mixture of vinegar and water to protect against mold and mildew. Cushions are put on their sides so that as much air can circulate around them as possible. We have been lucky. All of the preparation before leaving the boat on the hard has enabled us to return to a relatively clean boat and we rarely find that mildew has grown while we were away.
