Trouble with the head. 🥴

 Why is it that everything works well on a boat all season long until you go on vacation? We started the day in the engine compartment, because that’s where the vacuum tank is for the head (our toilet) and the pump for the domestic water system is located. 

The screen is the filter for our water pump, it just needed a little love, and some cleaning, to get back to normal operation. We’re good to go for the domestic water, now to the address the head issues.

I tried changing a couple of valves and lubricating a seal to no avail. I’ll spare you the rest of the details but it’s still not working the way it is supposed to. So we made a little detour, we went east instead of west at Three Rivers Junction. 

We are in Brewerton at Ess Kay Yards Marina. They were voted the Sponsor of the Year for the Great Loop Cruisers Association last year. We figured they would have the parts we need and we got a bonus, it turns out they have a guy to do the work too. YAY!! 

So, we’re tied up for the night and going to get the work done tomorrow. 

There is a silver lining to terrible toilet troubles, we found a waterfront tavern and tiki bar that’s open on a Monday night and Sonja and Takeya  joined us for dinner. They certainly are a bright light wherever they go. I love those girls!
