Reneé took the laundry in. 6 bags of stuff. Neil went to the boat to get started on the days work. 1st to work on the toilet in the fwd head. The problem has been a slow leak that causes the pump to cycle A LOT! Well step one get the windows and portholes open. Down side to that was I broke the knob on one of the porthole clamps. So, that meant I had to find the spare and replace it. Done, next I turned on the pump for the forward (fwd) head, and put some water in the toilet. The pump cycled a couple of times then stopped. 3 hours later it had still not run. So, the parts will get put away for another day. Next up was the fan in the aft head. I turned on the toilet pump in the aft head and the fan works. Another project done. Next up was to setup the Starling and router, this is not final placement, just testing. WOW!! It is easy and works very fast!

Reneé cleaned the cockpit and rearranged the forward stateroom. Finally we decided that we were done for the day. So, we headed back to the apartment, and decided that with everything basically done we would take a trip back to Phoenix to visit some friends Denny and Steve Pepper. We will leave here Friday morning, get a rental car and do some shopping, then a hotel Friday night and see them Saturday and Sunday then travel back down here on Monday.
