We spent about 2 hours working on our backfilling marine toilet using a combination of pumping, scraping and finding spares. The result was excellent, getting there was not. That’s enough said.
Just after high tide we moved the boat to the head of the river cutting down the distance for the next leg. We also preferred to leave Pahua Bay on the high tide as the exit was quite shallow in places. We are now in Urquharts Bay.
Overnight the winds have dropped considerably. I can see from a smoke stack across the river there is some wind but not much. Right where we are there is none and the bay is flat.
I got up early to make a call to the UK but the phone service has died on me. That also means the internet has died on me too. So it’s time to crank up the SSB and see if I can do some real communication via that.
