Frisco - Log Day 5, Repairs etc.



Another day in Paradise. Cockpit filled with wave on Starboard beam, hatch boards not in place so took a few gallons down below and into the bilge. The bilge alarm went off as expected however it did not stop. On inspection the water level was not dropping or rising. Further inspection revealed that the strainer was missing and that crud had blocked the pump and damaged one of the diaphragm valves. Repairs were effected and bilge pumped out.

Paul having learned about letting go of plates on the galley counter, had not yet extended the lesson to the saloon table. His portion of a wonderful creation of ground meat and tomato sauce ended up in Georges lap.

This morning provided some welcome sunshine to dry our deck clothes and energise the solar panels. We are moving along at approx 6.5 knots to the West.
