Dec 4th – Wednesday - Transmission Maintenance


Dec 4th – Wednesday
SUP ride to the grocery store for eggs and an Apple..  First store didn’t have any eggs..  No shirt or shoes.. won’t let me in.. they walked around and shopped for me..
Great breakfast on board..   Raining a lot these days..   but doesn’t last very long.
Cleaned out the inlet screen to the watermaker.. – clean..    changed the 5 micron filter.. looked perfect..  Turned on the machine and still no product flow..  traced the lines and found the product line rubbed on the alternator and put a hole in it!! Yes.. found the problem..
Went for a Swim..   Then replaced the line..  Works Awesome!!!..
Changed the oil in the transmissions..  Starboard tranny had dirty oil…   hard to get at, hopefully this was the reason…
Another big swim to get the grim and dirt off..  Allie and I swinging off the back of the boat with a line.. pretty fun!..  Robin had a good swim too!
Changed out the spark plugs in the dingy..  still runs like crap.. thinking water in the gas?
Internet is a little slow onboard.. so we went to shore and walked the beach looking for internet..  found a good signal and ordered a beer..  Updated Kozyboat.. Robin worked.. Allie did school work.
Robin and I went to find some groceries..  Walked into Bobbys market and found all their fridges dark..  no food in this place!!!   So we need to pull anchor and go to west end to provision..
Back to the boat for hamburgers on the bbq.. 
Brian dude from Toronto was playing at Myetts last night.. he remembered us from last year …  We all had a lot of fun singing.. Allie really enjoyed it!
