We were going over to the nearby island of Taboga this morning, but two things intervened.

A) I was informed it's St Patrick's Day and tonight is a girls night out , apparently complete with party frocks and make-up(I'm going to Delicado for a beer or five, wearing a pair of shorts and a tastefully stained  tee shirt)

B) The crew hull toilet blocked up. The last person to use it unblocked it (boy was it blocked!) then I disassembled the pump and spent happy (?) minutes playing with 'the joker valve' (a REAL bunch of fun), various O rings & gaskets, probably the warp drive valve and Dilethium crystal holder and then found it needed dismantling again to put the clacker valve in the right way round. Then it worked!

I have decided the crew do not need to eat solids!
