Day 75 - Santo Antonio
After our Saturday night
out on the town I got back to the stupid toilet being blocked witch meant I had
to set about fixing it at midnight as you do. Anyhow after all efforts it did
not come good so I continued on with the plumbing in the morning. This meant we
pulled up our anchor on Sunday 5th October at 10:14AM and headed off
to Santo Antonio 37:12.57N 7:24.85W My stupid morning
consisted of smacking the poo pipe against the side of the boat to break up god
only knows what ever was inside. But believe me I struggle to imagine it could
come out of any man or woman for that matter. This is the second time I have
had the main effluent pipe out and the sixth time I have had to ‘play’ repair
the toilet. As I smacked the pipe against the boat it gained weight in its
centre and when dumped over board pieces of what only could be described as molded
cement, fell into the water. If you could imagine a hardened blocked artery
then the same principle applies to our little toilet. To add to the problem our
loo is electric which means we have more stuff to go wrong and to top that off
electric toilets use 1.25” plumbing where and normal toilet uses about a 2”
pipe so we are more susceptible to a blockage. Anyhow who cares when you
have a view like ours from your bedroom window. See picture attached. Special comments by
Fiona:. We had perfect weather in Attached is a photo of
me on Denis and Sadie’s 54 foot yacht Graceful. Their yacht, or should I say
palace, is pure luxury. I always enjoy a visit to their floating home. But I
still wouldn’t swap Silky for any-thing, she’s our cosy little palace in her
own right. Oh yeah, and you may
wonder why there are so many photo’s of animals eg, dogs, birds and cats.
There’s so many around that I can’t help but take picture’s of the little
creatures. Day 75 Destination – Santo
