We stayed here for several days to let some nasty weather
pass by.
Dave worked on fixing the shut
off valve for the bladder where the fuel exits the bladder.
Dave found a leak at the water maker’s boost
pump.
This pump keeps the filters filled
and water flowing while we are making water.
This explains the water in the main part of the bilge.
But Dave is still looking for a leak in the
engine compartment.

On the 23
rd, we took the dinghy into town.
It was a long ride.
We took our trash in with us then had lunch
at Irish Eyes, an Irish Pub.
The food
was amazing.
We each had clam
chowder.
Dave ordered his in a bread
bowl, that was fantastic.
Then we shared
a Rueben sandwich, which was also incredible.
Since we were dressed in our boat clothes, we sat at the bar.
We had fun visiting with 3 local guys that
eat there every day.

We wore our “foulies” to shore, foul weather gear.
The lining at the wrists of my jacket started
to tear apart, so I finished the job.
After we returned to the boat, I hosed them off to get the salt water
off of them.
Salt water never
dries.

We decided to take apart an old thermal bag to help insulate
our freezer.
Condensation is forming on
the countertop.
