Passover
Good Friend and Good Food.
So Wednesday night we did passover on the boat. We cooked for 8 and had
two couples over. It was wonderful! We had Cod fried in Matza with beet
horshradish we made here. We had Hannah's Matza ball soup and then made
bowls with salad fixings and chicken. Then we rosted Lamb in the oven for
4 hours and had a real lamb shank. We cooked it in 1/2 bottle red wine
with lots of spices rubbed on the Lamb and carrots and onions. It was
wonderful. Hannah made Key lime pie with almond flour and pecans for
crust for dessert. It was a wonderful evening. Our friends from Suprise
and Tom and Kim came over at around 1900 and we finished up around
midnight. This was our first passover meal cooked on the boat and it went
much better than we expected!
A few days ago we were working with the deck wash raw water and the hose
came loose under the V berth and filled the boat with probably 200 gal of
water very quickly. So we turned everything off pumped it out and turned
off the through hull. So today Sam and I took it all apart and put in new
hose removeing a bunch of old fittings that were stacked on top of
eachother. Then after we got it back together the pressure switch on the
pump failed. I tried to rebuild it 2 or 3 times but it just will not work
so tomorrow I'm going to go back to the store and buy a washdown pump. I
think ultimately it failed because it overpressured the lines. But in any
case we had to take everything out from the v-berth to get to it and we'll
have to do it again tomorrow. We also found out that one of the fittings
from the through hull to the pump is made of iron and I couldn't get it
off. I don't want to break off the through hull trying so we're going to
have to leave it in place untill we're out of the water.
We have been enjoying the harbor here and I guess I've gotton lazy about
this blog as we have settled in. But I'll try to do better. Sam's
computer is being repaired so the youtube videos are delayed. I guess
we'll have to post more pictures here because of that.
Please bear with us folks! We'll be back online soon!
