Running water and leaking pipes...


So, for those of you who dont already know, last week we got a new battery charger.  Having the battery charger meant we had running water (electric water pumps on the faucets) for the first time since moving aboard Mystery. Talk about a celebration~lol

This morning, we noticed that the settee next to the sink was wet.  Well... not really wet, but soaked.  Bob immediately went on the search for the source of the water.  Turns out that the fittings under the galley sink are cracked.  That means that the galley sink is simply pouring water into the cabinet (and everything else) around it.  Grrrr. 

As always, living on the boat is a challenge and changing the fittings is not going to be as easy as I thought.  It's going to involve several small pieces being fit together to make the "big picture" work properly~lol  Thank goodness Bob seems to know what we'll need to get the sink usable again:-)

The simple things in life...

For those of you who didn't know, when we moved onto Mystery, she had been "pirated" while at anchor and we had no way to charge our batteries with all the solar panels taken.  Electrician Pat was nice enough to help us out with a battery charger, which Bob hooked up today:-)   

We have running water for the first time since moving aboard Mystery.  Our faucets are electric and run off battery power, so dead batteries means no water.  Thanks you! Thank you! Thanks you!

It's so amazing that sometimes it's the simplest things that make you happiest.  Now...if only I had a head on the boat...
