The Holding Tank

Today we had the lovely job of trying to figure out why the port holding tank is leaking into the bilge. I have no nasal sense of this problem, but Shelley can smell it 100 yrds down the dock. We had some work done on our lines that drain the two holding tanks so we can travel through Lake Champlain and into Canada. You cannot have your lines connected or a pump connected that in anyway would allow you to dump in their pristine waters. I do not want to do that anyway, but I have to prove it when we get there. So whatever the mechanic did while we were away, is now leaking.

Guess who gets to stick his head into a very small compartment up front and clean up the mess and then resolve the pumpout problem. I am happy to report I did it all today. Pump out is working, and we will leave out of Ft. Myers tomorrow am headed for Lake Okeechobee. It takes three days to cross "Crackerville" then we are back in the real world. Bonsoir (That is good evening for all of you not fluent in French)
