Washdown

After a shout or exercise both boats are treated to a very thorough washdown both on the upper deck and on the hull. A fairly straightforward routine: bucket, warm water, carwash (with polish in it) and sponge. On completion, a hose off to get rid of the suds. After this the boats are hauled back into their sheds where they stay till they are needed again. Not surprisingly the boats look great on this and more crucially, suffer from far less corrosion than other boats. I wonder how many other boats are treated this well? I know none of mine are!
