Our major task for today was to install a new toilet pump in our aft head. When this installation didn't completely accomplish what we wanted, we had the messy job of taking out hoses and examining and cleaning them. Finally, after several hours, George removed the "Y" valve and discovered that it also was partially closed. This certainly was part of the problem with the clogging situation, so he set it to an open position and we now had the powerful flushing action we were looking for. What a joy it is to work on the "head".
In the afternoon we continued cleaning the inside and outside of the boat, and then made preparations for our evening meal, as we had invited Gayle and Al to have dinner aboard with us. Our menu included shrimp cocktail, filet mignon wrapped with bacon, twice-baked potato, and Caesar salad. Gayle also brought a delicious mandarin orange cake which she had baked for our dessert. We really enjoyed the meal and the company of these boating friends and slip neighbors.
