SHIP'S LOG:
Went out and purchased all of the connectors and hose necessary to complete the the hook-up of the LECTROSAN from its new location. All that remains is to drill two(2) holes through the bulkhead for the hoses and make the connection. Then the forward head will be ready for to be opened for "business"!
I also purchased an in-line strainer for the hose that feeds raw water to the refrigeration compressor. As I mentioned before, the former owner lost/broke the actual strainer element rendering the refrigeration compressor un-usable. The open the seacock to allow in water would flood the boat. I can't figure out why the guy just didn't get a new element or in a pinch, a whole new strainer. It cost me all of $14 and five minutes to correct the problem. Now I can find out if the system works!
MASTER'S PERSONAL LOG:
It was a short work day. Got started late and spent most of the day in the car driving between Marine Stores to pick up all the parts I needed. Even though we should be out of Mystic next week, I am having a little trouble getting up the energy and desire to go down and work on the boat. I suspect that it is because I have been working on it almost daily for a year and so far the only time I have sailed ABISHAG was when we brought her up from Annapolis. Most of the stuff I am doing now is "busy work," stuff that doesn't really need to be done in the Shipyard. Waiting on them is getting to be a drag.
