It’s been one of those days.
We had a really bad odor in the head and after a short inspection I saw the selector valve for the holding tank cracked in half, pooooooo!
I got a new valve at west marine and proceeded to cover myself in the contents of the holding tank. We got pumped out this morning but there was still a gallon or so floating around. I found myself sitting in a 95 degree head covered in poop, with my tools scattered around. I got to thinking, ‘got to be a bright side rite”, and there is. Sam and Guin get a non-smelly bathroom and a good ship to sail upon.
Well I’ll be 44 tomorrow. I hardly have a few bucks in the bank but I feel like the richest guy in the world. Sam and Guin are happy, Splendid is…, well, Splendid, and I’m living the life I want. I have to bust my ass every day for it but what the hell right? I could be busting my ass for someone else.
I think we are sailing North 2morrow afternoon. I’d like to take off with Darrin but he has a boat project or 2. We’ll meet up in Stuart. I want to be sailing on my birthday.
I’m off to the Dockside bar & Grill with Sam and Guin for a cocktail.
Live is good even covered in pooooo.
