Comments: I woke up at 3:00 to the sound of blinds flapping in the wind. I thought it was something in the dryer, which was odd because the dryer cycle should have been finished hours earlier. I managed to get next to sleep only to wake up at my usual 4:30. For the first time since arriving a week ago, I fell back asleep again and slept until 5:30. I out in the last full load of laundry this morning. I have a few things that need to be hand-washed. I have decided I need to start moving some of the food off the boat. It will be easier to package it into meals at the house. Also, the cupboards need to be cleared out anyway to be cleaned and reorganized. I got to the boat at 8:00. The main storage cabinet under the map table was a mess. Several bottles had broken and black mold was present. It too about an hour to clean up the mess. I sprayed the cabinet down with Mold Kilkakleen and let it sit overnight. I couldn’t stay in the boat because if the fumes. I took away seven bags of non-perishable food to be sorted at the house. I picked up a Cape Salmon from the fish monger and stopped by two stores in the way home, picking up some small plastic bags and some non-perishable items I knew I would need to prepare my meals.
