Engine hose
stuff breaks
On the return sail we burst the hose on the engine that goes from the raw
water pump to the heat exchanger. Today I fixed it. We had to find a hose
from a 1978 Honda and cut it in half and piece it together with the part of
the old hose that is still good. I am looking for a new one from Nanny but
I want to be able to sail untill it arrives.
Today we also cleaned out the bilge and the area around the engine and
continued organizing for our first real cruise.
I also found that the exhaust elbow is leaking near the braided vibration
joint. So Monday I'll pull it off and take it to a welder Tuesday morning.
It's always something. I knew this would be failing soon but didn't want it
go go right now. Oh Well. delayed once again...
It's a boat.
