Successful morning

Bailed out the port side of the boat. I mentioned a leak on the port side earlier that spilled almost all of our port fresh water into the bilge. One of the bilge pumps wasn’t taking care of pumping it overboard so what should have been a flick of a switch turned into a debugging session. I think the diaphragm in that pump needs to be replaced so I just hooked it up to another of 3 pumps on the port side and we were able to pump all that nice dirty fresh water overboard.

Now to fix the leak. First to find it as well. Turned on the pressure and I could hear a spray it was coming from beneath the new toilet. Grrrrrr. Wouldn’t you know it it’s coming from behind the wall. I could feel the split in the hose but there would be no way to adjust the hose clamps. I removed the head and disconnected the hose from the head and pulled it all the way out. Cut off a section of hose and it’s all back in business. Of course those projects ate about two hours in paradise but we are on the move again. Motoring over to Union Island to clear into the Grenadines

Still dragging fishing lines but so far we will just have to have a fish dinner on shore
