Today, Sharon and I went to the boat. Although we only went for the day, we did manage to do some work. First, we had to take a load of "stuff" from our bedroom to the boat. We had been using our bedroom as a staging area for the past 2 months, and it was getting a little crowded. So we got to the boat and unloaded the truck. While we were there I decided to run the bilge pump. Despite being on the hard ,the bilge does get water in it from rain, especially when it blows onto the cockpit and the lazarette hatch, which has drains leading to the bilge. It hadn't been run since our trip in late December. Well, we did run the motor, but it didn't pump. Upon further investigation I discovered the base housing for the diaphragm pump had split open, probably from freezing. Before we can launch the boat this spring we need to repair/replace the bilge pump.......and so it begins.
Have you ever seriously thought about living your dream? We did and now we are full time cruisers onboard M/V Big Run. Everyday is a new page to be written in our ship's log as we travel to new places and revisit some ol' favorites. Come along and share our experiences and journeys.
