This photo was taken by Bruce with his Nikon that I only know how to turn on and off. My cell phone photos are mostly pretty good but when I saw this one! Wow! He took it last Sunday and he just now downloaded his photos.We were sitting on the flybridge of Summer Breeze for happy hour and the sun was starting to set.
The marsh was glowing and the water reflections and heron were pure eye candy for us.
This is South Creek, just behind Botany Bay Beach off of the N Edisto River before it empties into the ocean. Our newest and best anchorage yet!
I'm not sure if I mentioned a few days ago when we ended our Winter Cruise to Charleston that we had a clogged sink in the master head plus the galley sink due to common thru-hull on our last night out. We had tried EVERYTHING!
It was a good thing that we had already been scheduled to be home the next day as it was not going to unclog. We think it was because of the cold, cold water temperatures and the little bit of cooking we did with olive oil on the salmon and tacos night, then on top of all the years of other stuff. That cold water temperature just congealed it all. He tried a sink plunger, boiling hot water, the zip it thingys, no not long enough as the clog was down in the piping going out to the thru hull.
Yep, he got to break down all the pipes. Not what he wanted to do. That did the job though as he was able to reach the mucky yucky parts and clear it out. Then the rebuild started which is not always easy and he wanted to rebuild it so he could access any trouble areas easily in the future.
Rebuild successful. Leaks? Yep!
Try again, got it.
Since he was all up in the pipes both below the master head sink and up above in the galley sink, he says, this is a good time to replace the galley faucet! We were waiting until the countertops were done (which we are starting soon!) but this was a good time. Several stops at the stores in town later, we got the right one.
Below is the old faucet before he tore it out.
The new faucet. Actually looks similar to the old one. Since the sink is not a large one and we really don't want to put a larger one and lose counter space, we were limited with this style.
See the fog through the window?
It's NOT a good day to be out on the waterway!
Our countertop fabricator is coming out this week to see what we can do! Guess who is really excited about this project?
