The first thing a tackled on the boat was cleaning out the quarter berth. I had yet to do a good cleaning back there and worked on cleaning out the cubbies under the berth. I was surprised to find a cubbies seemingly untouched in 10 years packed to the brim with goodies. Two sails were stuffed in the hole for a wind surfer, as well as a nylon kite. But the best was a collapsable fishing rod with tackle box.

| Here was the case for the rod, first opened, then closed. |
The case had basically dry rotten and smelled foul. Charing pulled a couple of great piece of fabric out and made a new case for the rod. Her first step was to cut out the patch of the fish from Hawaiian printed material. She then sewed together a case with a draw string. No zippers to rot out, and completely washable. It turned out great.
