On our way back from Russian Bay we planned to make water but we were not able to &#8220;suck&#8221; salt water through our system to even make water.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that wasn&#8217;t enough: our microwave started to spark one night when trying to heat up lunch, our bilge pump went off in the middle of the night, wind indicator stopped spinning, and our A\/C was still non-functional&#8230;.it was time to do some work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon our return to Carter Bay, Trevor spent the next few days trouble shooting the water maker&#8230;PRIORITY!!!  In short, he relocated the water inlet to a larger thru hull, moved the sea strainer just below the water line, and changed out the low pressure pump to our spare&#8230;.Sweaty, discouraged, Trevor was a HOT MESS!!!!  He eventually got it working again&#8230;so far so good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1210\" height=\"1613\" data-attachment-id=\"8423\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/2019\/09\/19\/back-to-crater-bay-water-maker-broken-microwave-down-a-c-not-working-engine-wont-start-just-another-day\/edit-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svslowflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/edit.jpg?fit=1210%2C1613&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1210,1613\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone SE&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1568732216&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"edit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svslowflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/edit.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svslowflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/edit.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svslowflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/edit.jpg?fit=768%2C1024\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8423\" data-link=\"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/?attachment_id=8423\" class=\"wp-image-8423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svslowflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/edit.jpg?w=1210&amp;ssl=1 1210w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svslowflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/edit.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svslowflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/edit.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t talk to me&#8230;I&#8217;m busy&#8221;&#8230;.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that it was time to check out the local chandelier in town and while we there stop off at the market and Trevor&#8217;s favorite fruit\/veg stand near by.
