There are two types of sailors; those who HAVE run aground and those who WILL run aground!
Too true, which I figured out after I jinxed myself. I was looking for the owner of a grounded boat on shore when, in response to a similar quote on FB "there are those who haven't run aground, and there are those who are sailors". I replied, "I haven't yet!". That very night a storm hit, my bouy line broke, and I found myself a sailor! LOL.
The 26 Eriscson drifted to shore, no keel damage, but diesel leaked through what I assume is the tank vent. Now, however, I am having a problem.... I start filling the tank and a pool of diesel forms in front of the engine..... a tank hose problem I hope?
What is super weird is that when I flush/pump the head, the bilge pump starts. The water level doesn't change, nor do I see water ripples in the bilge when this happens. Obviously there is another connector problem, hopefully, in the head-to-thru hull line. But this started after the grounding, never happened before. Weird!
If any of you have similar stories and even advice.... I am piggy-backing on the threads more general question.... Thank you! -Hallie
