[Rhodes22-list] Clean up cockpit-- ugh

[Michael D. Weisner]

Rummy & Bob,

Where do you wash the boat?  In NY, we are not permitted to use a power 
washer or discharge cleaning detergents or soaps into the river or other 
waterways.  The DEC police allow only low pressure water (they cut the hose 
fitting off to prevent the use of a nozzle at the dock) as a means of 
removing debris.

While I would love to use these chemicals, I wonder what happens when they 
are discharged into the water environment.  Do you have a "green" solution 
that we may use?  Note, I am not a B-H Liberal or tree-hugger but I do 
respect nature and try to find an acceptable solution.
