I did some cleanup today, actually quite a bit; I removed a bunch of old parts and miscellany that has collected over the boat since the last big spring cleaning, taking out a couple bags of stuff. I also went through all the cabinets, checked on the PDFs (life jackets) and made sure the fire extinguishers have not expired (I just realized I need to check the expiration dates on the flares too). I checked the batteries and engine oil and ran the engine for a good while (this is something I do regularly, of course, to keep things in good working order).

It was a nice day of boat work at the dock, which I find rather meditative. I had the radio on 14 and the Coast Guard was checking in with all of the active ships, getting wind speed reports as it headed toward 30 knots out there. Maybe just a few knots higher than a regular summer day here on the bay!
