Today we moved around from Blackpoint to “Castlebeach”. Our little group are the only ones here. It was my favorite beach until I discovered Shroud. SYL is easily beached so I am sure bobbing is in my future today. But first housekeeping. After a couple of days of being cooped up on the boat ( we did leave a couple of times to visit Lorraines) the boat needed cleaning. Rusty had to change out our water pump. He ended up relocating it to a better place on the boat. More accessible and less likely to corrode wires, which is what happened to the fairly new one. We discovered that during our 20 hours in a small craft warning weather when we crossed from Destin to Tarpon Springs, we had some windows crack which is now letting in water when it rains or we hose down the boat. Rusty taped what he could but we can’t fix that here…..Project when we return home. Good news is SYL is a very seaworthy vessel She took quite a beating during that storm.
I got water in the cabinets below the sink and stove. I had gotten water before and Rusty discovered it was our drinking water hose. I thought I had taken care of it but apparently not. Picky me will not drink water out of the holding tank….( they are 21 years old) so Rusty made a line that comes straight off the water maker and bypasses the tank. There is a value at the water maker that you turn to choose making drinking water or water to go into the tank. Apparently I am not being careful enough with the drinking water tube. I don’t want it in the sink…..I want it to stay pristine clean but hanging it on a door handle over the sink is not working either. I will find a solution. Probably just keep it in a small water bottle in the sink. Back pressure occurs and it drips without me knowing it. Well, I am going to publish this and go bobbing.
I hope everyone is having a blessed Easter. I am so grateful that I have a risen Lord!
Sea Yawl Later!!
