Horror of horrors! No pressure water. Oh, the ignominy of having to pump all our water with the foot pumps provided at the sink!

Are we of Cayenne to let this happen to us? NO!

Have we got a total of 25 Pacific Crossings? YES!

Have we got more graduate degrees combined than a small midwestern university? Well, no, but we do have alot.

Anyway we decided to fix the water pump, which had a broken casting. THe break allowed the water to leak, and the darned thing did not pump. WHile we had NO PROBLEM with drinking and washing, we could not take hot showers. THis is barbarian.

Fix #1: JB Weld and lots of washers. Result: Nope. In the words of flogmeister Paul Harvey:"good day!"
Fix #2: Band-It tool. Yes, we used the band it tool to band it. A big frigging steel band around the whole thing (John and Rich suggestion) seems to have done the trick. Only minor spirketting. Look that one up.

Meanwhile, back in the race, we are going kind of not too fast. We took the turn tight and are in a bit of high pressure. We have enough wind to stay in the game, but we need to work at it, Now that we have had hot showers, work we shall!

Love to all, from all.
