Property Tax

     My sister Barb always says "no news is good news", that applies to Big Run.  We have been in Wrightsville Beach since last Wednesday and there is not much to report.  We came to Wrightsville Beach because we needed repair parts for the watermaker shipped in to us at the Wrightsville Beach Post Office, which is a short 1 mile walk from our anchorage.  After contacting every Spectra Watermaker dealer on the east coast for parts, we found a very well stocked dealer in Florida, Murray Marine.  On Friday, the replacement high pressure switch for the feed pump arrived and was installed by 2 o'clock in the afternoon.  But that did not solve all the problems as we soon discovered that there is a problem with the watermaker membrane and the quality of the water it produces, the parts per million (PPM) count is too high and the water is not potable.  Our new watermaker contact is now shipping us cleaning solutions to use on the membrane.  The cleaners should arrive on Tuesday by UPS to the local post office.   Hopefully the cleaning solutions will lower the PPM to a potable level and we can start living a normal life again - daily showers.  In the meantime, here we are anchored in Wrightsville Beach for the 6th day, they may soon charge us a property tax.
