New wet shoes and flip flops - 2018

 This post is mostly for our records but it may yet be of some use to others.

These I purchased because I saw them, and flip flops in my size "11" are real hard to find here in Mexico....not uncommon in the US. These are "Crocs' which I find really comfortable. These will be great for taking showers on shore.

Zep - Mold Mildew remover at Home Depot

This product has done a great job of cleaning up things.

For instance our "Horse Shoe Buoy" was pretty bad looking and this product cleaned it up. 

Sprayed it on and later washed it off. That is about as easy as it can get. It also cleans up "Starboard". Granted our  "Horse Shoe Buoy"  is old and still does not look new...it is way better than it was.
