Friday, 4 April. Or at least the WATER. The touch-up of the Coppercoat went very well. Sanding revealed the 'hills & valleys' of the coating and it was easy to get 50% or 70% etc. copper revealed. They final coats went on fine and there was no rain. The next day (Monday) they began buffing and waxing the hulls and we 'waited' a day for everything to dry. Tuesday, Greg came back and he and I got both saildrives back in, new engine mounts installed, and everything back together in three hours. Great. After he left I finished attaching all the bits and pieces that had to be removed to move the engines forward. Having degreased the engine and bilge on Sunday, I found it much easier and cleaner working. Wednesday the guys finished polishing the hull and Deb & I sanded all the Coppercoat. It went well, but ate up 220 grit discs like crazy. We ended up using all the 6" discs I had brought with us (20), all the 5" discs I bought (25) and nearly all of the sheets I brought (15 - cut in ¼). We didn't finish until 6:00 PM, and we were both beat! And black - totally covered in sanding dust! After a shower and a mojito, we decided that a quick dinner at the restaurant made the most sense and then an early bed. But it looks great. Thursday we splashed. I paid the bill (staggering, but not unexpected) and into the water we went. I had them hold us in the slings while I checked both engine compartments for leaks - none - and fired up the engines - both started well and were spitting water with the exhaust as they are supposed to. As we backed out of the Travelift, one of the workers yelled, "No agua." Sure enough, the port engine was no longer spitting meaning that the raw water pump was not working. This has been a long story. On our trip from Bocas to Shelter Bay, I discovered that the pump was dripping. Not enough to create a danger, but worth fixing. So while we were hauled, I replaced it with the spare pump. As I was installing it, I noticed that the pulley did not line up well with the engine pulley. I pulled it back out and compared it to the old one - the same. Oh well, put the new one back in. During the night I 'realized' that the pulleys were on backwards. Most things mount with a dish in the pulley facing forward which is how I had assembled these, but the raw water pumps mount with the dish backwards (confirmed by checking the starboard pump). I tried to remove the nut on the pulley to change the old pump since it was sitting out easy to get to - frozen solid. OK, try the new pump. Somehow, the nut loosened just a bit and then the pulley started slipping and I had nothing to hold the shaft to remove the nut. I took it out, pulled it apart and could find no way to hold the shaft without ruining it. Frustrated, I put it all back together and into the boat. If the other pump ran that long with the pulley reversed, this one should too. Except it didn't. That was the pump that failed at launch. So I shut down the port engine and motored out into the fairway out of the marina and behind the breakwater on one engine. We found a safe place to anchor and I swapped the old pump back it. It will probably leak a bit, but no big deal. It works and we were back under way. Narranja Abajo was our destination and it was right into the face of 20-25 kt winds. We motor sailed at 5 knots and got there without incident. After we anchored, toasted Neptune, and had a swim. Life was MUCH better. We celebated the anniversary of our engagement with lobster and champagne once again swinging on the hook. Tomorrow, weather permitting, we will sail 24 hours to Veraguas.
