thanks. Funny you should mention it. My electric pump gave out yesterday and I allmost damaged my little kubota. I didnt have the alarms hooked up yet. I am bidding on a belt driven impeller pump on ebay and will know if I won it today.

Cheers mate.

I have the Obendorfer pump that came with my Kubota. The bearing on the pulley is bad and I couldn’t easily find a replacement, so I went with an electric. You’re welcome to it when our paths cross. We’ll be in the San Blas I expect in the late winter. Right now in Grenada.

Go Slow
Sail Far
Stay Long

I found a really cool boat on yachtworld. This is the kind of thing I would have bought before splendid. I like steel boats.

You could probably grab it for 10 to 15k, even comes with a tig welder and diesel generator, all you need to do is sandblast, paint, and weld up any bad spots. Welding is fun and not so hard. steel is a cheap material you can find anywhere in the world.

Somebody, if you are the least bit handy please jump on this!

Time to go “CHOP CHOP!”

Although it is apparantly not hereditary, I bet I could talk my folks into proofing the book for you. Dad’s a retired newspaper editor and Mom’s probably read every piece of fiction under the sun and taught esl. I just thought I’d throw that out there, mostly cause their retired and it’d give em something to do). Lemme know if you need help with it.

interesting but demands a lot of power. Looks like you need to burn fuel (diesel) to keep this thing going all the time? Dosent make so much sense to me. It’s not so hart to scrape the bottom every month.

Cheers

Cheers
