Hi All just a quick update. We are still in Gibraltar, we received the
watermaker membrane yesterday and then the fun began. First stage get into
tiny hole where the temperature must have been 40, undo the filter membrane,
try take membrane out, phone supplier for advice, no answer so use brute
force and ignorance, get it out, supplier calls and says well done. Put it
back together and try connect, connected, switch on, Victoria falls in the
small area, switch off, go for supper at friends boat, get piddled to forget
experience, wake up hung over and start again. This time remove the whole
water maker, reassemble and connect. Niagara falls this time, so progress,
remove whole unit again, take apart reinstall, success, making fresh water
again.
So we were going to leave for Morocco today, but decided not to with the
delay. As mentioned we in the anchorage with a SA boat that are almost
finished their 4 year circum nav, they have 2 kids aged 6 and 8 so the kids
enjoying the playtime. We also have a NZ boat, so tomorrow we off to watch
SA NZ in the trinations. Then off to Morocco on Sunday. Quite sick of Gib so
looking forward to a new adventure.
Love US
