Some general first pass cleaning inside and out.
The deck area was squared away with loose running rigging coiled and stowed.
The mildew was washed off the sails and the boat cleaned up.
The main sail was raised to let the large amount of trapped water drain, then left to completely dry out. This prevented any further mold growth. Then the main was re secured with the boom raised at the aft end, to allow future rain water to drain away.
Rigging checked and tightened.
All of the hatches opening to the outside were checked and left secured. Dried out the area and items stowed at the Aft storage lockers.
