Two steps forward, one smelly step back

26 March 2017 | Leverick Bay
We completed a few boat projects (leaky hatch, flag issue, etc). On the keel bolt that was damp, we received feedback from the dealer with options that were less expensive and drastic - good news! We decided after two rainy nights at anchor at Leverick Bay, Sunday, this morning, we would have a nice brunch then move to one of the other locations in Virgin Gorda that we had wanted to anchor. Ah, good plan but that wasn't going to happen.😬

I noticed a foul odor first thing this morning and attributed it to the sump. So I cleaned the sump and entire bathroom- before coffee! After coffee, while keith was drying off the deck, I again noticed the foul odor but this time, more awake, knew it wasn't good. I pulled up cushions to track it, and needless to say, we had a mess in the forward head. So, we cleaned it up, went to Bitterend, & grabbed a mooring. We had to complete paperwork for our family's visit in two weeks - staying at the dock for a night, then started calling to find who had the part we needed. Fortunately, the marine store in Fat Hog Bay has the part- we hoped Spanish town did but no luck. So, we will head there tomorrow and if our timing works out, be anchored somewhere in the sound tomorrow night- fingers crossed🙂!
