Getting ready in Nassau

Ugh! Major work day here in Nassau. At least the weather is nice and cool (for this time of year) and we have a car to help out with the errands. Here's what Jane and I have done so far....

• Remove all of the cushions and bedding and floor boards from the starboard aft stateroom and clean up the spilled diesel fuel and wipe up all of the bilge, wash down all of the woodwork, let the cushions breath outside and the put everything back in.
• While the floor boards were out of the stateroom Eric check the eletrical connections to the ever troubling generator pump. They were fine. After letting the pump run for a few seconds with the outlet hose disconnected and then reconnecting it the generator started fine, which it always does after performing this procedure. Oh well...
• Disconnect and replace the head (toilet) fittings (they had them at the supply store!) so that the (sh**) does not flow back into the bowl. Fun!
• Run to various supply stores and try to find parts that are hard (if not impossible) to find in the Bahamas. Got most of the list except the dinghy pump adaptor which is lost but we can fill with the vacuum.
• Install rope hooks in the aft lazarette to hold the dock lines, electric cords and hoses.
• Install cup hooks in the kitchen cabinet to hold the coffee cups
• Put everything away that we took out (a lot)
