It is too cold to do something outside, so what can I do for fun inside the sailboat? Hey, I know, clean out the fridge! For those of you not familiar with boat refrigerators they operate more like the “old-fashioned” fridges of years past. The big critical difference from today’s fridges is they ice up! Big heavy, thick ice.

Secondly, boat refrigerators are usually of the chest type. Meaning unused stuff tends to drift to the bottom. Thank goodness for labels or many unrecognizable items would remain a mystery. Is blue cheese salad dressing dated – use by Aug 11, 2007 – still good? Hmmmmm.

Hey, why do we have 5 containers of mustard? Anyway… It has been a while since we have completely emptied the fridge and cleaned it. So, here I go. Do I hear the Star Wars theme playing in the background? Harharhar

Here is a photo of the ice buildup after removing everything.

Note the bottle of wine stuck in the ice. After many hours of melting the ice. I did speed up the process with pots of hot water. Here is the after photo.

What a nicely done project. Doesn't the fridge look much better now? I think it is time for a glass of that wine....
