Today we’re taking things slow. The mechanic said he didn’t have time to check our installed Morse cable today, so maybe it’s the universe telling us to relax and enjoy.
So we only got two small jobs done. We’ve connected the lines for the tethers to attach to the life jackets, which keeps you attached to the boat if you fall off.
The pump to lubricate the prop shaft had also arrived. We thought it was a nice small pump, easy to stow away somewhere, but it turned out to be a humongous thing. The guy at the marine store said that it would last a lifetime. “You never have to buy one again, and you can help out everyone you encounter as well” he joked. But he had ordered this one because the special yacht version was indeed half the size, but trice the price.
So after we figured out how to get the pump connected to the nipple that lubricates the prop shaft we had lots of time for a walk and to practice flying with the drone.
A good day!
