Toilet stuff

It was looooooong time to change the toilet pump on LinoCat.
But first try it out with one, so we still have one toilet left which works for sure.

So the guest bathroom toilet was under maintenance today. Removing the old pump was a little big ugly since the pump and the valves did not look brand new inside and also the liquid in the pump and hoses had to be emptied.
Also do not forget to close the seawater flush inlet valve if you do not want to sink your boat :-)

It took around 30 minutes to change the pump and it looks like it is working fine and also that the backflow problem from the holding tank has now stopped.

After trying it ouf for a few days i will replace the other one also.

And it looks like Ralf really found the elctrical problem in our cabling, it was a loose battery terminal which i had overlooked. It was on the starter battery but from there connected to the housebank.

Lets hope that this solved the issue.

Hallo Ihr lieben drei, herzliche Grüße von der Kire-Crew. Nun sind wir schon im Pazifik und unsere Wege werden sich wohl so schnell nicht wieder kreuzen, schade! Gerade Kinder in Karls Alter sind ja eine wahre Seltenheit. Laßt es Euch gut gehen, ich linse immer mal wieder bei Euch rein. Toll, dass Du so oft schreibst! Toilettengeschichten beim Segeln sind doch immer wieder nett und eine endless story...
Herzliche Grüße von Lisa mit Paul, ARne und Karl

Sailing for Jesus Christ

Image
Today the ELIDA V was in the marina. She is 40m long and the mast is 45m high!!! She is built from composite and weighs only 95 tons. With a sail area of more than 800squaremeters she can do 20knots. COOL STUFF The boat is holding groups of young people who believe in Jesus Christ but it does not matter to which church they belong. Typically up to 40 young people are guests and the crew is around 12 to 16 people. The boat is very spartanic inside but built very safe and fast. The big Harken winches are operated by grinders and even the anchor is pulled up with them. This is the meeting room below. It can also be used for company sails. Maybe one day we will have our management meeting there. Here you can see Colin from Californa. He showed us around on the boat. Under http://www2.elida.se/default.asp?id=53 you can read more about this fabolous boat. Roger at the steering wheel. Almost as tall as he is :-) Check my big shoe size 47 against the winches and the traveler :-)
