Have we not had enough, already? What do you think is shown in the photo? If your first guess is "this is a broken off bolt", then you guessed right! But, what did this bolt belong to? You can guess as much as you want. I would bet you $10 that you will not figure it out. So I will make it easy on everybody. THIS bolt was what held the head pump handle in place! You know, the one that pumps water in and everything else out! Now we have lost the toilet, too! I hope everyone is capable of sweating it out because there are few alternatives. During the early sailing days, the head on many ships was outside. Right on the bowsprit. No toilet paper required ... :-)
Google this and you will find this is true. Anyway, BoatUS is towing us now to Newburyport, where Bremer Speck will be hauled out next week. Then the fun begins. I better start printing some money now. I will need it.
Ronald,
ReplyDeleteYou should have an extra bolt in your stash of hardware. The toilet is an easy fix. Sorry to hear about the motor. When it rains...it pours! Think of how fortunate that you stayed relatively close to the U.S..
They say bad things happen in threes, well your three is up.
Best regards and good fortunes
