Prepping for summer on the hard: Antigua

Hello Fleet, I'm prepping my boat for the hurricane season to be on the hard in Antigua. I've got a handful of things I'll see to once she's out but what things might you suggest for my to do list. I've pickled the h20 maker, changed oil in yanmar, topped fluids and fuel tanks off, with biocide. Taken cowls off, sealed boat, emptied water tanks, and canvas is all stowed with lines, sails and such. outboard rinsed and put away. Any words of wisdome appreciated. christine

Wipe down all flat surfaces including bulkheads with a cleaner. Just before you leave the boat, put some open half cups of bleach around - galley sink, head sink, etc. Helps to reduce or eliminate mold.
