Invasive species and traveling

I was in Saguaro Lake…

I was in Saguaro Lake…
21st August which has recvently been infected with Quagga.

the next weekend of 27-30 August, I went to San Diego which is not.

When I got off Saguaro, I dried the boat fully.

Then I washed the inside and out with soapy water and disinfectant.

Then dried it again.



I was stopped at the Aggie station just past Yuma and they inspected my boat and let me through.



Last time I did that, they asked how long since I had that boat in the water. 2 months! so they let me through.



A good washing, cleaning and drying is generally all it takes.

Thinking ahead
I paddled Split Rock in NJ today and it has Milfoil in it. Don’t expect to paddle again until I leave for my Maine trip. When I got back today I washed the boat with a mix of bleach, water and some soap. Used my bilge sponges in the process, the threw my Teva’s in the bucket. Dried the boat off, and put some 303 on. Then racked it covered it.



Ready to go to Azischohos with a clean conscious and boat!
