As Kinship is going to be our new home next season, I have been doing what the Captain affectionately refers to as \u201cnesting\u201d\u2026 cleaning out cupboards and planning where things will go. There is a locker in the forepeak that I have been eying as the perfect spot for my sewing machine. Except that it is full to overflowing with cleaning products of every sort, and I have to admit to being rather intimidated by them. \u00a0I quickly discovered that it contained specialized cleaning products to clean things I didn\u2019t even know I had, and\/or never imagined would have to be cleaned. The previous owner must have kept a mighty clean ship. I finally took it all home and went through the inventory\u2026<\/p>\n

Who knew you had to clean your fenders? or your bilge?\"2015-11-28<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t ask about the Bird & Spider Droppings cleaner – I already had to learn about that for cleaning up all the dead spider and fly guts this summer (blech)!<\/p>\n

But Aerospace Protectant? Can Kinship fly? I guess I wasn\u2019t that far off when I jokingly referred to learning to sail her as \u201clearning to fly the space shuttle\u201d. And how about Magic Wadding Polish? I have three cans of that, so it must be important – maybe it\u2019s the magic that makes it so Kinship can fly, and it only works if well polished?\u00a0And both wax and polish for metal? really? the last time I did that was when I was a little girl, and my mother had me polish my grandmother\u2019s fine silverware! Modern women don\u2019t do silverware!<\/p>\n

After my rationalizing exercise, I am left with one bag of the normal kitchen\/bathroom\/laundry stuff that I recognize. The rest will get deep-sixed in some hidden corner. And when the Captain decides his fenders\/bilges\/metal\/magic wadding need cleaning or polishing, I will be sure to tell him where he can find just the product he can use for that!<\/p>\n
