Crazy Horse - day 8 to Marquesas



Well, yesterday and day before were filled with crew of Crazy Horse desperately trying to find a freshwater leak inside the bilges.Anytime you find water inside the boat the crew instantly feels a little anxious. We had the floorboards up everywhere and cleaning like you wouldn't believe. We were determined to find the leak. Bill thought it might be the line from the water tank that winds its way around the nav station. So he fixed that line. We still had the water coming in the bilge. We looked everywhere. Well, it turns out it was coming from the a/c drain line. From a man who has spent his whole life needing a/c this is a bitter pill to swallow. No more a/c til we get a new drainage system or at least in a flat anchorage. This constant heel doesn't help with the drainage of water down a straight path. Our friends on Ocean Jasper are probably having a quiet little laugh if they
read this.

Turns out we saw the lights off in the distance from Crazy Horse the other night. Matt was convinced it was a UFO. Nothing showed up on radar. I did see a flicker of a port light in a couple of sightings. Now I have heard it was the fishing fleet. We literally ran into a fishing fleet off the coast of Ecuador on our trip there. Glad we didn't this time.
