Stooopid Sand!

[blimp]

Daft question time. How in the hell do you get sand out of all the parts of a rib. Been out about a dozen times in the past month and have the equivalent of a small beach on board. A lot of it is down in the bilgewell (?? - that part at the back where the bilgepump works from) and is usually under an inch of water. I guess a small dustpan and brush will get most of the main stuff out, but what about down under the water?

I use piece of 1" Dia plastic piping with a lid with a nozzle on it which reduces it to a piece of flexible piping then syphon the water and sand out a bit like a fish tanke hoover setup

Looks like that thing should be hidden in the bedroom.

How about a wet/dry shop vac and an extension on the nozzle?
