Reading the news.

Getting ready to pull the pump that feeds the live bait well on the boat, if I can reach it. Then decide unclog, rebuild, or replace.

Hope you can get to it. Brings to mind a major Roccus Boat Observation in that I don't know which of these statements is true, but they're definitely aligned when it comes to Boats.

Either boat builders recruit retired Cirque du Soleil contortionists or Cirque du Soleil recruits their contortionists from boat yards.

My previous boat had "replaceable pump cartridges", you'd just screw in a new pump into the existing housing, kind of like an oil filter and plug in the wires. THAT was great!

Good luck!!

trying to get the back porch light back on the wall...

Somehow, for some reason it decided it didn't want to stay on the wall during the night & pulled out. It was hanging by it's wire cable this morning when I let Max out.

Not where I thought it would be, but found it under the deck attached to the hull next to the bilge pump, & it is a replaceable cartridge pump. Took the cartridge out & cleaned out some gunk & a short length of braid. Back together the pump sounds better, but still a little off, won't know till Friday when I'll splash the boat again & see how it pumps. Went through all the paper work I got with the boat, & that pump is the only thing missing, can't really see the pump body to get the name & numbers. I'll get back at it with a mirror, I have twisted my old bones up enough for one day.

Sitting at the Shinnecock Canal waiting for the fog to lift before navigating the bay & going out the inlet

 

[wader]

just got back from one of my watering holes down here for dinner - Bizzotto's - they had their outside patio open for dinning - figured I'd check it out - if the bar area was crowded I'd bow out

Called the owner/friend of mine - Miguel - just before I left to see if I needed reservations to sit at his outside bar.

Told him I was nervous about coming in what with the COVID stuff still spiking down here. He said "don't worry. We'll take care of you".

Got there & found reservation plaques on the whole bar.


Saw him as I came in the gate.

He said again "We takin' care of you." (He speaks like that having come from Italy)
"Looks like you're expecting a lot of customers who want the bar seats."
He replied: "No. Just you."

He had the staff reserve the whole bar area just for me so I wouldn't feel nervous!

Sitting at the Shinnecock Canal waiting for the fog to lift before navigating the bay & going out the inlet

Waiting on the fog is all too normal over here in shinnecock this yearWednesday morning i left the dock before 6 and it was fairly clear. By time I got to the inlet I couldnt see the bridge behind me or the mouth of the inlet....

 

[Chinacat]

Oh and now I'm sitting here thankful its not foggy and trying to figure out which wind prediction is most accurate to decide my best bet for a wind with tide drift today....
