(And I speak as someone who has watched Lady K's voyages since they left the Great Lakes)

Ahha! So I return to my earlier question...why? What's the appeal?

 

[Resolution]

Looks bang on to me having experienced similar. You will be surprised how quickly you tire heaving buckets up to the cockpit and how much you spill if you dont take care. Same with the sink, pour it in too fast, it just overflows. Bet it took hours to shift the oggin.

I had several crew taking 15 minute goes on the hand pump, electric pump wrapped in. Heaving the buckets up , needed a break after around ten minutes. Took hours altogether.

Then I had to change the engine fuel filter.

In a near gale in the Gulf Of Cadiz, in the dark......and some of the crew vomming everywhere. :ambivalence:

As you do.

Isn't sailing fun??!!!!

Isn't sailing fun??!!!!

Yes and thats without getting into sea water shorting out the autohelm breaker and the fridge/freezer compressor!

Still a pit stop in Cadiz sorted it all and we then continued our passage to the Canaries and Antigua. Now that was fun!
