Date: 02 May 2019 9:30 till 02 May 2019 17:30
Endpoints: Yacht Haven Annapolis Eastport MD to Yacht Haven Annapolis Eastport MD
Purpose: Continue Preparing for the 2019 NOOD
Complement: Yoni Bresler

  • Met Patrick of Diver for Hire to have the boat cleaned.
  • Removed a number of items from the boat that will not be needed for the NOOD.
  • Fully hoisted genoa. Tack shackle was hanging slack, now fully extended.
  • Removed head from boat and clean throughly with Lemon Joy.
  • Finish drilling platform for head.
  • Tested, on the dock, head before installation. Not working. Fawcett's does not have a rebuild kit. Bought "base valve gasket", "joker valve", and "piston, rod & o-ring assembly".
  • Installed "base valve gasket" and "joker valve".
  • Lubricated pump cylinder with vasoline, as recommended.
  • Tested head, on the dock, again. Head pumps forcefully ejects water.
  • Installed head and connected head discharge elbow directly to holding tank via a single piece of 1-1/2" diameter sanitation hose.
  • Tested head again. Head bowl does not fill, rather it appears that some water goes into the head and into the holding tank at the same time. More work required.
