Cleaning the dinghy.

The dinghy, or yacht tender as it is sometimes called is my car whenever Eidos is anchored out. I depend on it to get me to shore for shopping and back again. 
And just like a car, the dinghy needs to be cleaned about once a week if it is kept in the water. Otherwise, in a few days, it will look like in the photo above or worse. Not only sea grass will appear on its bottom, but also barnacles who love to glue themselves to the seams. It doesn't take very long for the seams to open up and your dinghy will start leaking. 
This is my dinghy after an hour's work with a scrubber and a scraper.  
I deserve a reward.
And with a five minutes' effort, the dinghy is now clear of the water and safe from getting fouled.
