After a three-month absence during hurricane season, the owners of a cruising sailboat return to their vessel in Florida to find extensive mold growth and water intrusion throughout the interior.15:30 Despite the boat remaining structurally intact following hurricanes Helene and Milton, standing water and high humidity caused widespread damage to cushions, laminates, and surfaces.14:14 The crew reports that items left on surfaces suffered significant mold colonization, while cushions wrapped in plastic fared better than those left exposed.19:10 The cleanup process involves wiping down all interior surfaces, organizing storage areas, and addressing a persistent, musty odor.17:38 The owners note that the severity of the mold varies by location within the cabin, with some areas remaining unaffected while others require intensive scrubbing.19:16 The crew plans to continue deep cleaning and sanitizing the living spaces before resuming full-time life aboard.
