I opted to spend a slow day aboard and finish the inventory and cleaning up (i.e. vacuuming) the rest of the bilge areas aboard. I opened up the generator enclosure was quite surprised to see a lot of water sloshing around deep down underneath the generator. I tried to reach it, but my arms weren’t long enough and I set about trying to solve the problem of how to get the water out of there. First I dipped a paper towel and did the infamous taste-test and the water was sweet – well, the water wasn’t really sweet but it wasn’t salty. Then I dug out the new oil pump that I’d just inventoried and managed to fill 2 buckets with somewhat dirty water but couldn’t figure out where it might have come from; neither the washing machine nor the dishwasher showed any signs of leakage and I couldn’t tell which detergent might have been in the water. At least all is now dry and I’ll try to figure out where that water came from.
