Theirs always a project, yesterday it was the water maker. We started making water yesterday only to find that our water maker was making half what it should. After several tests I decided it needed a new pump head. As with all boat projects most the time to do a repair is in getting to the repair. The repair itself is easy. This was no different. Two hours to get the pump off, ten minutes to clean it up, and one hour to put the pump back. The rest of the day the water maker ran as it should.
While some boat problems linger on and cause me to loose hair, most things have been easy to fix. The longer we cruise the more I understand the need for a big box of spare parts. When we go back to Tacoma in March, we will shop for boat parts we might need instead of thing we want.
Today is cloudy, windy and 81 degrees. I have a shirt on because it's cold. I never thought I could be cold in 81degree weather. That's what 17 months in the tropics will do to you.
Life is good on Kokomo
