First things first... we have to make it a boat again instead of a swimming pool/jacuzzi... I can't believe I don't have any pictures of the boat with all of the water inside of it. For some reason the boat looked worse today than it did before. We were able to get all the way inside and the mildew was much much more than I originally thought... I will spare you the smell description... You can probably imagine that part. With a little help from the shop vac, the water was out.
The boat history has started to come together though. It appears our girl was inhabited by "Willy", an older gentleman with a few screws knocked loose with age. Willy had lived on this boat forever. I am not sure how forever was meant but I can account for the last 9-12 years. Willy's boat was in a slip for 3-4 years until he woke with water in the cabin one day. At that point, they pulled the boat up into the yard, fixed the loose hose, and left him onshore per his request. He stayed onshore for 3-4 years until his kids decided he wasn't safe remaining there by himself at that point in his life... It could have had something to do with the aliens. :) If you ask me, it was only fitting for Willy to have such a close connection with aliens being he was so close to the Cape for so long. Anyways, Willy had two ladders set to get up onto the Coronado... One in the front for everyone (including himself) and one in the back which was specifically for the aliens... No one else was allowed to use it.
