Six months ago Jan and I began a sheet with tasks to do. The list has grown to three pages. But today the last item was crossed off. It seems to be an impossibility, but there it was. What an immense effort! There are still things to be done, but they mostly administrative--put the TX numbers on the boat, sell the cars, etc.
One thing that is not on the list is packing. The kitchen is piled high with stores--nuts, dried fruits, and cans. The boat is littered with tools and loose parts. There are piles of clothes everywhere. We plan to devote all of Thursdays, Friday, and Saturday to packing. I want White Pepper to look like she is going for a day sail when she leaves the jetties early next week.
Today Phillip installed the "Y" valve that will make us legal in jurisdictions that enforce the holding tank laws. While doing so we found the discharge hose so clogged with scale that it was only a matter of time before it completely closed off. The vacuum breaker or siphon valve was also clogged. Cleaning it all out was a nasty job but prevented a worse mess at sea. Thanks Phillip.
