Hira takes Pashmina off the cabin top, tops off her tubes with air and washes her off. She gives the cabin top a good cleaning and replaces Pashmina on top. Pashmina really likes it up here as she has the best view on th
e river and she has the radar to help her see.Hira finds the old tub of boat wax and starts hand rubbing the cabin tops. Several hours later there is a glimmer of some shine left in the ole girl (Shatoosh) that is. Hira takes a break with some cold lemonade and calls Georgia Ann in San Antonio to thank her for telling her about this qui
ck lemonade.After lunch more rubbing and more shine appears. The galley gets a good scrubbing and the entire stove comes out for fine detailing to take place. Sparkle Plenty is the name of this galley.The library is reorganized, all the utensils are washed and restowed and my meager clothing items are stowed on the starboard shelf.
Balancing on the dock planks Hira heads for shore to check out the status of the blackberries. Hum, it seems the late summer will produce fall berries. They are worth waiting for, as these are the best blackberries around. I'll make sure I cruise in for a bowl full in September.
