Good to be back home on AB

Nice to be 'home' on the AB. Still amazed that there wasn't more mold inside,... considering how HOT the weather was, all the time we were away. 
I guess we left the correct portlights, and hatches open (to give some air circulation).
We did "luck-out" with the creek flooding too... Scott send us an email at one point during our 'lake cottage' stay... saying "THE CREEK FLOOD WARNING IS NOW OVER".
wow..
We never knew it was "ON"        ;)
 Yesterday I pumped up the dinghy...
It was pretty deflated after nearly three weeks away...I knew there was at least one 'semi-major' leak. 
So I sprayed it with a soapy water solution, and discovered two leaks... one new one where the rubberized fabric has been worn away from the fabric, near the transom, and one old leak where the patch, near the bow, is coming loose.      :(
SO...over the next month, I'll have to complete the patching, and internal sealing (with the liquid "fix-a-flat" stuff for inflatable boats...
