... sorting and storing, sorting and storing

Buried in supplies and spare parts, Rob is sorting tools.
We have the essentials now:  first aid kit, a ridiculous amount of high fibre cereal and a variety of alcoholic beverages.  Today, we learned what to do if a log pierces our hull while we are merrily driving along.  Turns out the real trouble starts when the log falls out of the hole; that's when water starts pouring in.  Apparently, our response would include someone Rob jumping overboard to push a piece of tarp through the hole.  This is eerily similar to the emergency treatment for a sucking chest wound.   If Rob will take care of the pierced hull, I will definitely handle any sucking chest wounds.  We also purchased a strange hammer for banging out damage to the propeller.  This repair also requires submersion.  Sorry, Rob.  Will post again next week when we are ready to go.  This will get more interesting when we get moving.  It better.

  1. I seriously hope there is neither a sucking chest wound or a pierced hull! But surprisingly comforting to know you're prepared for either.
