A dirty job

You know what happens to your boat when you leave it tied up all summer in a swampy, algae-rich marina? You get a skungey boat.

skun'-dzee, adj. The state of being covered in skunge. Skunge-like.

First the captain took the pressure washer to it (borrowed from Handy Dad). No dice.

Then he picked up some marginally caustic hull cleaner/algicide. This stuff worked ticketyboo, but only when used full-strength.

It was a long afternoon spent scrubbing the boat, but it's clean as a whistle, now. If only we had some place to store it.
