Let’s go backwards, the ugly is that we have a broken head (toilet.) As soon as PaPete and Baba (Peter and Sally) left to go home the head broke, most likely clogged. We decided to sail around the South side of St John anyway to Great Lameshur Bay, one of our favorite quiet spots from trips past. St John is an amazing spot with soooo much to offer. And it didn’t disappoint, one other boat spent the quiet night with us there. Our plan was to spend a few days there hiking and exploring, but I was not able to get the head fixed, so we decided to head back to Nanny Cay for some more aggressive tools.

Then comes the bad, on our way to Soppers hole, the engine alternators Voltage regulator stopped working. That means we were putting way too much electricity from our engine to our batteries and we risked damaging the batteries and the electronics. The good news here is that with some quick sorting out of the wiring we were able to get this one fixed pretty quickly, but it was bad that it delayed us getting to Nanny Cay.

Once there we got a slip and met up with our friends Eric and Sheryl at E&S Yacht services who managed Salmagal over the hurricane season. Eric gladly lent me some tools and I spent the day, night, and following day (today) pulling the electric pump out of a very tight space between the generator and a bulkhead. Got a big toilet paper clog out of the pump, put it together and …… It still doesn’t work 🙁 Aaaarg! And the next thing we found out is that we needed to leave our slip at noon and they had no other space for us. This we find out at 1145.

So it is still ugly with a none working head, but the Good is that we powered over to Trellis Bay and we are happily sitting out on a mooring preparing for a not to miss Trellis Bay Full moon party tomorrow night. We took our upgraded super fast dinghy over to Marina Cay to watch the sunset (and write this post) and that is the picture above.

Frustrating at the moment, but it is going to be a wonderful trip, hopefully with a working head!
