Yorktown VA

We woke up to a spectacular sunrise only to find out that our water pump has crapped out. Upon further investigation I promptly destroy a key plumbing fitting which now sealed our fate. Having full tanks and a powerful watermaker does not help showering if you have to use a hand pump to extract H2o from full freshwater tanks. In any case - first fix stbd engine, then inspect keel....

A quick dive revealed no damage to keels and also no blockage around stbd raw water inlet. After carefully motoring on one engine into the narrow creek and docking, I changed the impeller with Ryan the friendly local mechanic- as well as cleared a handful of sea grass from the seacok. 

Afternoon was spent biking to colonial Yorktown and visiting the historic Revolutionary battlefield grounds and museums. 

Flo bought another mug and continued the killings of little flies that seem to have found a new home in our boat.
