last minute stuff..........................from P

How many pair of underwear are you taking? Wonder if we will need a drill? Why the hell has the air conditioner stopped working? OK, let's stop and just think of this as one of our annual two-week trips. No pressure. Just 7 pair of underwear (who needs them anyway?). I do have a good spot for the drill, and the bits are in the toolbox; we may want to hang more hooks or whatever, so it can go. OK the code on the A/C readout means there was a hight pressure shutdown. The book says that means not enough water is circulating. So, first check the seacock. Next, the raw water strainer. Yep - sure enough, there is a huge nasty wad of jellyfish in the strainer. No problem. Oh no! Washing out the strainer, I sprayed the "O" ring out of it and overboard it went. No problem. Found a distributor on-line and I had the part number. Next day UPS is a wonderful thing. Got extras. And so it goes.

It is now the day before departure and except for one more load of clothes and one more trip to the grocery store, we are finally ready to set sail! As a friend of mine said, "if you wait until everything is perfect, you will never go." With that, let's go! Tomorrow morning we are outta here!
