Cleaning Marine Canvas

Still fueled with excitement from our first successful weekend cruise of 2012, I decided to start cleaning the canvas in our cockpit.

Dirty!

First - I cleaned the canvas on the dodger. 

Next - I innocently removed and cleaned the canvas walls.  

THEN - I casually (HA!) removed and cleaned the canvas ceiling.  

Canvas walls removed.

Reinstalling the clean canvas is a more than one person job.  I highly recommend a partner.  The fact that I got everything back in place, by myself, before the kids woke up, was a miracle! 

One more maintenance project checked off our list!  :)
