When the bottom of the barge is spray-cleaned before blacking a large proportion of what was attached to the bottom ends up on the top.
Our last client had fitted a filter to the centrifugal pump he uses to wash his deck and was then able to run a high pressure cleaner on canal water.
Enough of an argument to finally drag myself into the Bouwmaat to buy a Nilfisk high pressure jobbie. The filter was blocked within minutes but it does work and there is an email on it's way to Nilfisk to ask how fine the filter has to be.
Back at our mooring I connected up to the water point and cleaned the canvas covering cloths. Very satisfying work.
