Well another windy day in Musket Cove...cleaned the bilge !
Intended to go ashore to use skype to phone home at 1600...went to wash my hands, no water, pump isn't going...check power all ok...its the pump...aarrgh..I have a spare...take out the old pump, put in the new..all go.
OK off in the dinghy..ashore, wet from the windward ride, power up the phone...but the code for the WiFi is wrong.....damn must have written it down incorrectly...back to the boat, fast trip with 25 knots astern...get the right code...back in the dink...outboard won;t start....oahhhh !
Bring it on board, spark is OK, ,must be fuel...strip the carb off...clean the float bowl...take out the jets...clean/ blow through...reassemble and it goes
Another wet ride to shore and we;re on the air (it's 1730 now) whew !
Stop by the bar on the way back, but they are all in their own groups; nothing for me here ...fast ride back ...and just as well...it's pitch black now and consistent 25 knots !
