Going slowly, but going

22 October 2017
Progress has been a tad glacial to say the least, but the sump pump is still performing just fine. Can't really tell how much water is coming into the boat as usually the level is so far down that it looks nearly empty... then every now and again I'll catch Sanctuary with 3-4 inches in the sump, which the sump-pump vacates in about three minutes; that the issue exists at all still irks me, but that's what I get for dealing-making in haste I guess. Hooked up the ProMariner ProSport marine battery charger on Sunday -- temporarily. Didn't mount it yet, as I'm still trying to figure out where I'd like it permanently, but according the idiot-lights the charger is doing all that it is supposed to; will let it sit another couple of days and at that point will figure it will be reliable for keeping the 12-volt system topped-off and I can sort out the marine bilge pump and ditch the 110-volt sump pump.

Extra: The skipper went out and found another Bristol 24 -- this one, Sanderling, is mechanically in better shape than Angels Wings, with newer rigging and motor, but still a small basic boat with no pretentions about high-society.
