So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Simple Cleaning Can Make Things Last Longer

By Jeffrey Wallace


Pleasure riding is fun on the ground and there is an equivalent to it in water. These are boats. Boats are generally smaller than ships and in fact, can carry a batch of individual. These are small watercraft that are utilized in a variety of ways from fishing, racing, and to just plain pleasure cruising. All these are mostly powered by motors and are very expensive. Keeping it clean and well maintained is done at Long Beach CA boat wash downs.

Settlements in early civilizations were near the great rivers. The reason for this is because of the fertile soil near its banks. Fishing was done along the banks initially. Soon enough the settlers began fashioning floating platforms made of reed that were tightly bound together and pieces of logs that were tied together to form what is now called a raft.

With the discovery of tools and how to use them, early inhabitants learned how to hollow out tree trunks. This made the trunk float easily the hollowed out portion could accommodate individuals. Most of the early types were always made of wood because of its buoyancy. This was the standard material used in making boats until the entry of metals.

Modern vessels that we now see in docks both public and private, did not just develop overnight. It evolved hand in hand with technological advances in materials and methods. These developments were incorporated in its design and configuration. Boat building is by no means a small industry. It also contributes to the economy although not as much as its bigger counterpart, shipbuilding.

This article deals primarily on those that are used in seas, that is in an environment where water and air are salty. As modern yachts or pleasure craft are made out of metal, mostly aluminum, it reacts to the natural elements in some negative ways. Metals in whatever form are not exempted from this natural reaction. When metal comes into contact with these elements, there is bound to be oxidation.

Seawater has a very high salinity content factor. Because of this, it is more corrosive than ordinary water like those in streams, lakes, and rivers. A lot of companies have invested sizable sums of financial resource on research for ways on how metals can have more resistance against the elements found in nature that interact with it.

If one is an owner of a new vessel, it would be prudent to have it properly maintained and cleaned after every cruise or trip. The salt water of the seas is very corrosive and when becomes dry it turns into very tiny particles that are sharp edged. Wiping it off with a piece of cloth will damage the surface area where it usually is found. It is very abrasive and will leave scratches. You will need to wash it down.

Seagoing vessels will always be subjected to the effects of salty water and air. These elements will leave behind very tiny specks of salt granules the will further add to corrosion. Many substances can get attached to the hull while operating in the seas. Just like a dirty car that is cleaned in a car wash. Ocean going smaller crafts also have a boat wash down.

The task of cleaning one may sound daunting but it actually involves very simple processes. The first thing to do is to spray it with water using fine nozzles. All parts must be sprayed from top to bottom, from inside and out. This really means spraying everything square in an inch of it. This will allow the salt crystal to dissolve. After this, all you have to do is hose it down thoroughly.
