Superbowl
Decks and Impeller
It was a long day. First thing this morning I started working on the
crack in our 6 gal water jug. I decided to plastic weld it and it worked
well. We'll see if it holds but I think it's a permanant fix. Then
Sam and I spent the rest of the morning into the afternoon working on Teak, then in
the wind one of the solar panels blew off and I dove in the water to get
it. When I got back in the boat I noticed the Generator was running hot
and not much water was coming out. So after cleaning the strainer a few
days ago and clearning the inlet the next thing was the impeller. Sure
enough it was all ate up. So I called West Marine and Brad and I rode
over there and picked one up. I was quiet suprised that they had one for
our generator but they did. I have no more spares so I need to order a
couple. Now that it's all back together it's running 30-40 deg cooler!
In the evening we watched the superbowl by the Tiki hut and ate snacks.
The KC Chiefs won by a field goal in the last 10 seconds of the game! We
stood outside watching it on the big screen from a projector and hulu on a
phone. It was quite the party.
